I have been talking about this with people of all kinds, and although some do not agree completely on how to, everybody agrees that it would bring loads of money for the state and eliminate a lot of crime.
Instead of reducing social security or raise taxes, JUST LEGALIZE DRUGS!!!!
The idea is very simple, the state buys the drugs and distributes them, at a lower price but with a huge benefit, since the price at the source is only a tenth of the price on the street. This would take out the gangsters, who are earning fortunes now and terrorist groups, who buy weapons and bombs aimed at our society.
Even the method of distribution should not be too difficult as everybody who has ever been in a Dutch coffeeshop knows. Of course this only works for soft drugs like marihuana or hashish and maybe magic mushrooms and LSD, but if pharmacies are in charge of amphetamines, cocaine and heroine, for example, they could have a list of users, who will have to sign for a certain personal dose of the drug they want. This list should also be accessible for everyone, and could be used by employers.
This would make the step from soft to hard drugs a lot harder, as everyone wanting hard drugs would have to tell the pharmacist they are users, a big step for a newbie.
And, most important, the taxes raised on these drugs would pay for the entire social security of a country, complete with unemployment benefits for everyone without a job!
