There are many conservative who are opposed to legalizing drugs, but nevertheless believe the current ‘war on drugs’ is stupid, oppressive, and counterproductive.
They’re not sure exactly what we ought to do instead, but would like to explore alternatives.
Your response seems reasonable, thoughtful, and balanced. It has no place in a thread about the WOD!
If they offered any alternatives, I'd listen. But I've heard none other than legalizing and taxing, decriminalizing and looking the other way. I'm more of the "cut off the head and the snake will die" school myself; kill the top people who produce and distribute the crap, and as far down the food chain as necessary. Starting with Soros himself would be a public service!
Alternatives, PLEASE!
