Government welfare encourages people to take advantage of the system. Being forced to contribute to welfare when high taxes already leave you shortchanged is not the best way to help those in need. There is no reason to think so. This common question is based upon fallacy, assuming that people currently do not have access to illegal drugs. Anyone who wants to get illegal drugs can currently do so if desired.
Millions use illegal drugs already.
Many of those individuals peacefully take drugs without harming another person. Drug laws do not work. They do more harm than good. On the surface, it may seem appetizing. The minimum wage is counterproductive.
