Well I get your drift. I wouldn't just want to kill right off, but eventually and slowly return those powers of regulation that are not granted to the Federal Government to the states.
For instance, why do drugs have to be illegal? If we get rid of the DEA we can stop wasting our money on drug legislation that doesnt' work. We can stop invading peoples homes and stop risking the lives of people who for any other reason are law-abiding. Now get this. We de-illegalize drugs and something weird will happen. No more black market!! which means drug prices will be lowered because you can sell them in plain view and not get in trouble. Automatically crime would drop, because of the legality of the drugs. Also the drug lords now who murder and fight over territory will be forced into legitimate work that depends on competition rather than harassment and gang war. All the money made off drug sales will then be able to be done with credit, checks, over the internet, credit cards, and the economy will benefit. Also the money now made in drugs can be put to better use by going into banks and investments where it can't right now for fear of being traced. Then we can also tax this very lurcetive business!
Now the morality of the issue comes into play. And to that my answer is. If you don't want to do it, then don't. Justy like cigarrets or alchohol, these drugs are harmful yes. But nobody cares if you drink or smoke do they? And the same laws would apply for these drugs that are akin to drunk driving and public health hazards.
Lets face it the war on drugs is rediculous. It is a big fat failure and it's high time America got the point. Just like prohibition, it has failed. the only people that profit from the illgality of drugs are the drug dealers themselves.
