    You could stop the Illegal Drug Trade tomorrow.

    Legalise the lot , grow it locally and sell it as a known controlled substance in pharmacies.

    Tax it like everyones favourite drug Alcohol and then spend the money raised in the health system.

    This will cut the criminal element out completely , the crime rate would dive.
    Overdoses will be less common as quality control would be in place.
    It will no longer be a crime issue ,it will be what it always should have been a health issue.
    Even an increase in Tourism would occur.

    The health system would need a big increase in cash but this could come from the reduction in the police services and from the taxes raised.

    Imagine a world where there is a few more doped out people about but less of them needing to break into your house to feed their habit.

    Radical but we have already lost the war on drugs , we couldn't be any worse off than we already are.
