“Lucky for you guys there is no war on ignorance and illogic. At least not yet. “

Ditto.

Anyway who sees drug abuse as a victimless crime is tragically ignorant.

And to call a war against a certain crime “a failure” because all incidents of that crime have not ceased is illogical.

I agree. But there is use and abuse, and just like alcohol, both exist and yet one is legal and the other is not. Unless you want to outlaw alcohol, the "victimhood" case against pot is extremely weak, and the pervasive use of it makes the current situation the definition of insanity.

I agree. It is the specious comparison of pot smoking with murder I had issue with.
