Mayor Pete looks like an innocent young man, much like Alfred E. Newman from "Mad Magazine" looks like a happy, weird yet optimistic kid.
Now the optimistic mayor, who got elected to that position by a mere 8,000 votes and lost all other elections he ran in, would legalize all currently illicit drugs, including cocaine, heroin and meth.
By legalizing illegal things, that would certainly reduce the crime rate, but it would also reduce the population growth as it will kill even more individuals than it already kills.
Crack was disastrous in the 1980s and currently, about 62,000 people die each year in the US alone, from drug-related deaths. And most people don't go into treatment until they get in trouble with the law, so making it legal will make it seem okay to use drugs and more people will die.
Even though pot is the most prevalent drug used by young people, the pot today is four to five times more potent than it was in the past.
But at least if you follow Buttigieg's thinking, the crime rate goes down, unlike it has in the city in which he is mayor, South Bend, Indiana. The crime rate there is greater than 96% of all cities in America as reported by The Daily Wire via city-data.com.
As he told the Des Moines Register, Buttigieg thinks that nobody should be incarcerated for drugs [see video below.]
“Incarceration should not even be a response to drug possession.”
The paper asked: “Is that across the board? So if it’s meth or coke or ecstasy, any drugs, if it’s possession, incarceration isn’t…”
“That’s right,” he responds.
“This is crazy. This is a bright guy. I don’t agree with him, but obviously he’s a guy of some subtlety and intellect. No subtlety here. He acknowledges the harm that these drugs do—goodness gracious, it’s incredible the harm these drugs do. … We have a terrible problem going on in this country. We do not need to encourage more of it.”
Bennett explained that legalization of drugs doesn’t — as it’s been supposed — shut down the black market, but Buttigieg doesn't take the free market into account:
“The legalization movement, one of the hypotheses there was that it would end the black market of drugs. With legal marijuana, the black market would disappear. … “The black market has grown, because it undercuts the legal market by selling cheaper. Of course, it’s easier to hide the black market when you have legalization going on. But again, why would one want to encourage more of this? Ninety-five percent of the people who would get into trouble with heroin, with cocaine, with meth, started with marijuana. The marijuana that’s out there now is four or five times stronger than the marijuana in the 60s or 70s.”
Bennett’s also went after marijuana:
“[It] leads to mental problems, serious mental impairment, lack of focus—not good for students obviously—anxiety, and then later in life, it can lead to psychosis, and often does. … Sorry to be worked up on this, but this is just nuts what we’re doing here.”

As you watch and listen to him, his tone actually sounds thoughtful and reasonable. But think about what he is calling for and imagine our society if he had his way. It's really not only incredible, it's crazy. The left has lost its collective mind.
The mayor goes into more detail on his 2020 site:
“Eliminate incarceration for drug possession, reduce sentences for other drug offenses and apply these reductions retroactively, legalize marijuana, and expunge past convictions.”

And vote for me, he implies, which brings to mind the far leftist group, Country Joe and the Fish, performing the Vietnam Song:
"Come all you junkies throughout the land
Mayor Pete needs a helping hand,
He got himself in a campaign jam,
Way down yonder in libtard land,
So put down your drugs
And vote for Pete
Onnaconna these drugs are neat."
Former White House Drug Czar Dr. Bill Bennett discussed his thoughts about Buttigieg's idea, which he shared with Fox News:
“This is crazy. This is a bright guy. I don’t agree with him, but obviously he’s a guy of some subtlety and intellect. No subtlety here. He acknowledges the harm that these drugs do—goodness gracious, it’s incredible the harm these drugs do. … We have a terrible problem going on in this country.

But it does get drug users to vote for Mayor Pete, and that's really the point to his policy ideas.
