The War on Burglary has failed even worse in the UK. They might as well take that off the books too while they’re at it.

So what do you think of the use of the expansive Commerce
Clause to impose national prohibition in the US?

Also, we have a failure on the War on Murder. People are getting killed, every day. And our jails are full of those doing the killing, at a terrible cost to taxpayers.
Why not just tax contract hits? Our economy would improve, and we’d save so much money not prosecuting and jailing murderers.

Burglary by definition always harms others. Drugs usually harm the user, except when the user commits crime to afford his drugs. Laws still need to be in place to guard against users harming others, but if the user wants to destroy themselves, its better than them robbing or killing me to be able to afford their illegal drugs.
Legalization, while enabling regulation of sales, would crash the high profits of drug dealing. Think of all the smugglers, dealers, and gangs that would defunded.

Here’s the difference: burglaries have victims. If justice doesn’t demand drug laws and the only point is social engineering, you expect at least for it to work. If everyone who wants to can get high despite the law, what is the point?

The war on murder and rape are so old and useless.
Lucky for you guys there is no war on ignorance and illogic. At least not yet.

The drugs affect you. I don't give a damn.
If you steal my property to buy drugs, then the burglary laws are sufficient to punish you.
