The Urban Outlook on the Drug Policy

With Obama as our new President, the drug laws are beginning to change in the United States.  There new approach to the drug war epidemic is to not punish the abusers but tax them for their money.  But what would happen if they made some drugs legal, like marijuana.  The United States would be a lot similar to Europe and the rest of the worlds drug policies.  Society would then be fined if they where caught with the marijuana instead of being arrested.  This is an example of Global Finance.  With the Government taxing everybody it would become decriminalized.  Also it would regulate trade with-in society.  Trade regulation are laws made by congress to ensure a free and competitive economy.  With marijuana being regulated it would then be taxed which would make society not want it as much.
