Judge Gray on Legalizing Drugs
The brilliant proposal of Judge Gray to legalize marijuana, cocaine and heroin in order to reduce crime, court loads and costs merits further study. Using his exact same reasons, we should also legalize murder, rape, drunken driving, robbery, burglary, assaults and all other actions which burden the courts and flood the jails. As with drugs, mankind has clearly failed to eliminate them.
Think of the benefits! We would no longer need jails, police, many lawyers, and, of course, judges. The last two benefits are really the best case for this idea. Judge Gray would not be so overworked--actually not working at all.
