Answer:
The argument for the legalization of drugs
-efforts to restrict supply have failed
-link between illegal drugs and crime, drugs contribute to corruption
-drug law enforcement may be discriminatory
-drug enforcement may violate our constitutional rights
-there are financial and opportunity costs of drug enforcement
-health consequences of drug policies
-benefits of the legalization: net financial benefits to the government from legalization (could tax producers of the formerly illegal drugs); drugs would be safer if they were legal (regulate quality and needle exchange programs); risk premiums that stems from the illegality of drugs would disappear (drugs wouldn't be as profitable anymore)
