Strawman, strawman, don't you realise what a fire hazard you are presenting here?
Not to mention how many times your strawmen have been set free by the simple truths that you drug warriors refuse to see... that rape, robbery and murder are considered "malum in se," that is, because they have real VICTIMS, they are evil acts, in and of themselves. Drug possession and use are "malum prohibitum," that is, they are only "evil" because some power-hungry government pervert SAYS they are. (At a guess, one of those would be you. Am I right?) The actual CRIME associated with drugs comes from the drug LAWS, that is, without the laws prohibiting the recreational use of unapproved drugs, there would be a level of drug related crime approaching about zero. Of course, there would be no Grand Theft (asset forfeiture) for the WODDIES to profit from and no more payola to judges, supervisorial cops and legislators from the dealers, so those folks would have to find REAL work for a change. Prisons would then have more room for REAL criminals...those murderers and rapists you seem to like so much... and we, the people, might once more be secure in our persons, papers and property, not to mention our wallets, when we no longer have to fund all you jackbooted thugs to the tune of BILLIONS per year, not including your bribe monies.
Half the 16,000 murders in the USA last year went unsolved. Why do we even bother when the effort is such a waste?
And rapes? Geez, there must have been hundreds of thousands that never even got reported.
More of these crimes would be solved if LEO resources were freed up from the WOD. Less of these crimes would be committed if jail cells weren't occupied by nonviolent drug offendors under mandatory minimum sentencing.
How many of them were related to the trade in illegal drugs?
