The economic case against drug prohibition

Article Abstract:

Drug use has resulted in social and personal degeneration. Diminished health, reduced earnings and moral degradation are some of the things drug users suffer from. Illegal drugs promote crime, spread AIDS, worsen poverty, corrupt lawful authorities and wear away society's moral fabric. The costs and benefits of drug prohibition are considered. It is concluded that a free market policy for drugs is more superior than drug prohibition. The social costs of drug prohibition exceeds its benefits.
