Yep. Heroin should be legal (but not over-the-counter access). 'Decriminalized' is probably a better term.

Remove the profit and the violent criminal distribution network, treat addiction as a disease rather than a crime, and eliminate the need for Afghanistan's chief export.

Unfortunately, there's big money at stake, and not just criminal. From tonight's tv listing:

Billions Behind Bars: Inside America's Prison Industry
CNBC - 37 - Mon, 1/16, 8:00 PM 1 hr

Repeat, Crime, Documentary, Business, Prison Story
The U.S.' incarceration rate means that one of every 100 adults is behind bars, and the $74 billion that states and the federal government spend on corrections annually provides jobs for 800,000 workers and impressive profits for some corporations

Crime pays.
