Let's End the Drug War

I think it is time to end this stupid drug war. Here's why:

1. It hasn't kept anyone who wants drugs from getting them any time they want. In all my life I've never seen or heard of anyone who wanted an illegal drug who couldn't get it easily. We are spending billions every year and the only thing that results is that the drugs are more expensive and more profitable for the criminals. Legalizing them would immediately bring the cost down and perhaps remove the incentive for people to cheat, steal and murder to get money for drugs. I don't think that drug use would make more than a temporary spike after legalization. Pretty much everyone that wants them is already using them.
2. Thousands of innocent people die every year because of drug related crimes. These people aren't involved in the drug trade at all and should not have to die just so we can continue to look righteous. If we only saved these lives, legalization would be more than worth it. Sure, drug users would continue to die. Let's face it though. They knew that drugs were dangerous when they decided to start using them.
3. No one should have the right to tell another person what they can and can't do with their own bodies as long as they aren't causing harm to others. The most important right that anyone has is the right to ownership of themselves. That ownership is infringed any time any one makes someone do something with their body that is against their will.
4. We would no longer feel compelled to interfere with the sovereignty of other nations. We are constantly meddling with the internal politics of other countries in our fruitless attempts to stop the flow of drugs. We have no right to interfere in the internal politics of any country. This also costs many extra billions each year in foreign aid.
