If the war against drugs is lost, then so are the wars against theft, fraud, rape, murder, arson, and illegal parking. Few, if any, such wars are winnable. So let us all do anything we choose."

The War on Drugs, like the War on Poverty, is a fedgov program that uses the New Deal Commerce Clause as it's constitutional authority. Do you want a War on Rape and a War on Murder run by fedgov?

This is the era of the Tea Party and the Tenth Amendment. Drug Warriors will be thrown under the bus. Count on it.

“Do you want a War on Rape and a War on Murder run by fedgov?”

No. But I do want judges to stop patting criminals on the hands when they trash free-market businesses. I do want potheads prevented from choking up taxpayer-funded medical services. I do want us to learn from social experiment failures in socialist drugs-first Europe. I do want people to stop pretending that there is a war on drugs when your borders are wide open. In short: I want accountability. And it would be really nice if “free speech” libertarians stopped censoring anti-drug arguments. But that’s a dream.
