Should we legalize (ill.) drugs and use the tax revenue to fund drug education?

[DC Al Fine]

No. People like this sort of thing because it's "logical" to tie the taxes and expenditure like this, but the tax revenue raised rarely matches up well to the need for the program.

And besides hard drugs is hardly a victimless crime. Anyone dealing things like heroine is ruining lives and wrecking families, and the addicts often have to resort to petty theft and the like to fund their habit.
