Well, aside from the fact that there'd be no feasible way to "hand out" nukes to individual people, lol, drugs should be legalized.  There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that drug prohibition decreases drug use and crime.  In fact, the opposite is true.  Many people do drugs just to be rebellious againt the system, and still many others are put in prison as addicts instead of receiving treatment, which costs half as much per year as incarceration.

If drugs were legalised then there would be no deterrent for addicts, as soon as they're addicted to a hard substance they'll be as good as dead. Drugs like marijuana should be legalised though, think of all the money and police time wasted cracking down on those types of drugs.

You cannot protect people from themselves.  Try as you might, it is an impossible task and it will only lead toward the incremental stripping away of our freedoms and rights as individuals.  Tyranny, in other words.
