The president says legalizing drugs is not the answer to drug trafficking.

President Obama said Saturday that he is open to a debate about current drug laws but that he believes legalizing narcotics could lead to even greater problems in those countries hardest hit by trafficking and violence.

Obama told Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos [pictured with Obama] on Saturday that he is willing to discuss whether current laws are “doing more harm than good.”
