Legalize all drugs for personal use (other than the ones that make people act in ways that would harm others), tax them to shit, and make it so you have to be at least 23 to take them. Government has more money, crime rates decrease, and the world becomes a slightly better place.

Legalize the drugs and regulate the industry behind them. However, I doubt that people in the political world would want cannabis and the like to be legal. Consider this: Narcotics are much more profitable when illegal than legal. Coercion and fraud run rampant in the drug industry, namely because there's no government body that's directly controlling the distribution and sale of narcotics. In my opinion, it's not too far fetched an idea that those who run the means of narcotic production in central and South America influence the political system. After all, big money influences politics in big ways.
