True - but drug users going away is a utopian fantasy like those beloved of the left.

It's a reality for the left. Mao Tse Tung executed anyone caught with drugs when he came to power. He didn't want that crap destabilizing the country in the manner that had previously brought him into power.

Singapore routinely executes anyone caught with drugs, and this policy has worked out pretty well for them.

There is a realistically do-able way to take drug profits away from criminals - the same way we took alcohol profits away from criminals: legalization.

We did not take profits away from criminals, we made them respectable.

Look up the History of the Kennedy family.

You can continue your love affair with the far left - I prefer the system of limited government established by our Founding Fathers.

Some were driven out of the alcohol market and some went legit - sounds like a win either way.

Wow, an apologist for Chairman Mao, posting on FR. Never thought I'd see the day.

And as far as the Kennedy reference goes, would you prefer that we go back to Prohibition and allow a latter-day 'Joe Kennedy' to enrich himself selling illegal alcohol?

Man, you Drug War Nazis never cease to amaze with your damned statist hypocrisy. You can all go to hell as far as I'm concerned.
