Most of this has been covered on FR, but this article ties together some of the reasons to end the insane War on (Some) Drugs.

I'm waiting for the drug warriors and trolls to jump on and attempt to rip apart the article, it should be interesting and entertaining.

Then you've been right (at least) since the 80's.

The war on drugs must end. Unfortunately I live near some drug dealers who are only able to afford their domicile because the monopoly the government gives them. The cops have done nothing about them so I say we hit them where it hurts, in their wallets.

Legalize marijuana?

That's insane! Why, every Monday morning I read my local police blotter and do you know how many potheads have abused their spouse, committed violent acts, and crashed their cars into people at excessive speeds???

Actually, I never see that. You ever see that?

Only people drinking legal drugs do things like that.

I'd like to stay and argue with you, save for two important facts:
  1. It's a complete waste of my time.
  2. My wife is home from work, it's our 3 year anniversary, and celebrating with her is way more important than watching you make yourself look idiotic once again.
But enjoy the battle.
