Carlos Santana to Obama...

Perhaps it won't do anything for broke crackheads that will do anything to get their fix, but that's the idea. By legalizing responsible use, we eliminate the burden that pursuit/persecution of responsible users places on the tax base by focusing only on those that are a danger to society.
Furthermore, drugs would be cheaper and more available, so those inclined to abuse them would steal less and die faster, if you want to get really heartless.

There's no such thing as "responsible use" of crack cocaine. The very nature of the drug is its highly addictive and rationale-changing influence.

There are no "part time" crackheads.
