Chitwood’s arrest should serve as a red flag that the war on drugs has failed. Government should use this as an opportunity to learn that meth is a function of the war on drugs.

Pretty sure meth and other hard drugs are “functions” of people wanting to get really really high. Legalize meth and you remove the social/legal implications of using, which will make “trying it” a much less difficult decision. You’ll end up with even more junkies destroying their lives and the lives of their friends and families and pets and generally just being complete leeches dragging down society. The only things gained from legalizing hard drugs are tax money and interest payments on maxed out credit cards.
