Legalizing drugs

An interesting dichotomy is emerging regarding legalizing drugs. The idea is that it would put the illegal drug dealers out of business and a tax on the sale of these drugs could be used for drug rehabilitation. Recall when the cigarette companies had to pay the states billions that was to be used for treating health problems caused by smoking that much of this money was used for other purposes. Now contrast that with the demand to get rid of the second amendment. This would make it illegal to own a gun. This then would open the door to illegal gun sales and the government would lose control over who owns guns and the taxes from the sale of guns. These two would be like ships passing in the night each going where the other came from. These problems require addition investigation before any action is taken.
