Here is the article Im starting with Marijuana. According to this 30 million people smoke marijuana in the US regularly. Ok let's see these regular smokes spend $100 a year on marijuana. That is $3 billion per year. So why don't we just legalize marijuana and put a 10% tax on it the same way we tax cigarettes? Per year that would bring in $300,000,000 a year in taxes. That would get rid of the marijuana drug war we have going on. We can police it the same way we police drinking and driving, and save money on DEA/Border Patrol/etc.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth...

weed is not more unhealthy than cigarettes! I am glad it is legal over here, so I can smoke whenever I like, although I dont do it often :)
