Legalize and tax all use and treat abuse as a medical problem. Keep stiff penalties for illegal importation. All risk/no profit/no enterprise.

Fixed for you. The end-user, even with the tax in place would be much cheaper than buying off the street. Said tax revenue could be specifically earmarked toward treatment programs and inner-city infrastructure rebuilding.

The only losers in this proposition would be the “private” prison industry, some law enforcement agencies who use the forfeiture statutes as their own private piggy bank, and of course the drug gangs/cartels who have their source of income cut out from under them.
