It seems strange that we should have to choose between criminalization or capitalization of drugs. We need to find better ways to keep the market from driving a service into something we don't want. Once there is legal money in it, a slow creep will lead to a powerful and consolidated industry, like private prisons themselves.
My knee-jerk reaction has long been legalization, but I could see a dark future there, and not because people would abuse drugs more. The dealers would not only be better organized, but they'd have lobbyists.
