Then there's the practical argument that marijuana prohibition seems to be failing in pretty much the same ways that alcohol Prohibition failed.

Dude, society in general is failing. You will soon see the prohibition against robbery and murder failing as well.

Look around you. It is already happening.

Your observation is a symptom of a larger disease, not a cause for celebration. There is a reason why it is coming along at the same time as the nation elects an idiot, accepts Gay Marriage, and continuous onward towards Fiscal collapse. It's because society has become too childish, and the consequences of it will not be long delayed.

Time will tell. At this time, two-thirds of murders are solved - a rate orders of magnitude larger than anything marijuana prohibition can claim.

Look around you. It is already happening.

Are robbery and murder happening more often or being less often solved?

Who's celebrating? I'm pointing out a fact - as opposed to the utopian fantasies of prohibitionists.
