3. Declare victory and legalize everything.
Enough is enough. If people want to get access to drugs, they'll do it. Period.

The lessons of Prohibition are still pertinent today.

If we license and regulate drugs, then they're taken out of gangs. Gang activity will decrease as a result.

Plus, the government can tax drugs. A source of revenue. AND the taxpayers save billions of dollars on this utterly futile "War on Drugs".

Surely, our police have more important things to do than arrest people for marijuana possession.
