Drug Overdoses - What Would Happen if We Legalized Drugs?
How is it possible that over a hundred thousand people a year are dying from drug overdoses? I've thought about issues about drugs and crime for 20 or 25 years, and i have absolutely no idea what the answer would be. That's the power of data. To go from a situation where my theories don't tell me the answer, so i really would need to collect data to understand what the truth would be. And in that world, if you legalize drugs, you actually make things a lot better because the people who need to self medicate have a much easier time doing it.
