Sorry, but that blood is on the hands of the prohibitionists.

If some guy robs a store and shoots the clerk to death, would you sue Smith & Wesson? Do we blame the shooter, or the corp?

If a drug user dies or kills someone, do we blame the drug user, or do we blame the bureaucrat who enforces the law?

I'm not necessarily opposed to changing the law, but I also think people should be accountable for their own actions. People in the drug trade do damage lives and they are not blameless -- trying to say the prohibitionists have blood on their hands is really misrepresenting reality.

I think that is a fair point, but the policy makers who implement these laws knowing what the effects will be in the massive increase of crime, corruption, loss of civil rights, and lawlessness are culpable for those bad policies.

They are not directly responsible for the deaths that the drug dealers commit, but accepting the fact that 50,000 deaths is an acceptable cost for waging their policies is in my opinion, grossly negligent on their part.
