You are wrong. The war against drugs IS working.

Thanks to that war, heroin and cocaine are not for sale at the local convenience store. Heroin and cocaine are not handed out like Slurpees at Seven-Eleven. Heroin and cocaine are not sold like hot dogs at the corner of most streets. Heroin and cocaine are not passed out by vendors at baseball games. Heroin and cocaine are not served at soccer team parties after the championship game. Heroin and cocaine are not placed on your tray by airline stewards. Heroin and cocaine are not everywhere — thanks to our brave policemen and parents and those non-libertarians who support them.

You are WRONG. End of debate.

You are incredibly wrong.

Legalizing does not mean advocating. Think cigarettes and soccer games.

BTW, for the most part, “brave policemen” is an oxymoron.

You need to get around more.

Read this...

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Which section of the Constitution do you believe delegates to Congress the power to regulate intrastate drug policies?

The war on drugs has nothing to do with this. This is achieved through a simple law not permitting them to sell drugs. There is a difference between a simple law such as the one on preventing liquor sales to minors and the war on drugs. The term 'war on drugs' also includes millions of dollars funneled away by corrupt politicians and their cronies in the name of fighting the war on drugs. Most of these politicians are RINOs who are supported by frightened conservatives who have been told that the only way to prevent a proliferation of drugs in our society is if we give them the money to fight the war on drugs.

Nope. You don't get to end the debate here. The War on Drugs has also turned our country into a police state with no-knock drug raids, the seizure of private property just on the suspicion of dealing drugs, and an explosion in property crimes and murders.

You are right that illegal drugs can't be bought in stores or baseball games (?), but they're only a phone call away. You're the one, sadly, who's very, very wrong.

Now, we can end the debate.
