condensed version of Drug Legalization

It's easier for young people to obtain illegal drugs than a six pack of beer, because drug dealers don't ask for IDs!
There is a war going on along our southern border and extends throughout our country. Thousands of people are being murdered and kidnapped by the drug lords? Law enforcement, on both sides of the border, has lost this war.
Drug cartels, created and financed by our government’s stance on illegal drugs, have infiltrated almost all of the major cities in the United States.
The federal government with no appreciable success has been spending $69 billion a year worldwide for the last 40 years, totaling $2.5 trillion, on drug prohibition.
Our president and congress are sending a billion and a half dollars to a corrupt Mexico that is sinking socially and economically with a diminishing oil industry.
There is so much money involved that it conceivably has bought off many politicians and enforcement officials in both countries.
The government did the same thing on a much smaller scale in the 1920's with alcohol prohibition. After repealing alcohol prohibition, homicides dropped by 60% and continued to decline until World War II. Alcohol is still a problem with many people, but the gangs making and selling it have disappeared.
If we ended drug prohibition, and established control over these drugs, murder rates would likely plummet. This might encourage the drug lords into legal investments with the hordes of money already accumulated.
Rehab of addicts could be dramatically expanded with the decrease in the present cost of controlling drugs, and our ports and borders could then be completely secured.
Should our do-nothing congress and president and the two presidential candidates give this consideration?
