Cuba and the War on Drugs

If US and Cuban government relation can continue to thaw, they will do better at limiting the drug issue.

What if the US govt just legalized everything and taxed it? It might remove the market from the criminal underground..

If the US government legalized all drugs, the shift of focus from a criminal justice problem to a public health problem will put even more strain on our healthcare system. While I do agree with you on the fact that legalizing all drugs would be beneficial, we already have problems with our healthcare (ex. the fiasco with repealing Obamacare happening right now). We should first fix that problem and have the capacity to take drug addicts to rehab centers, instead of jails, and that is not something I can see Trump's administration doing.
