Drugs are simply a vice. I want you to show me a single instance of a vice being successfully curtailed by legislation and enforcement. To the contrary, every attempt to impose morality by enacting laws against a vice has repeatedly, time and again, and always will, result in violence, destruction and death when the underworld moves in to reap the profits to be had because it IS outlawed.
Trying to justify continued suppression of a vice by pointing out the natural consequences of outlawing it is... well, I guess you signed your last post correctly, sir.
