They’re not sure exactly what we ought to do instead, but would like to explore alternatives.

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!

Drugs were illegal from the '30s through the '70s, yet we didn't have these paramilitary no-knock raids, nor asset forfeiture either. A return to that status quo would not bother me at all.

I am increasingly convinced that the war on drugs, like the wars on poverty and terror, are being fought so as never to be won. That way the government budgets and the restrictions on freedom always grow, never wither....

How about the constitutional alternative - let the States decide intrastate drug policies and have fedgov butt out. You don't support the New Deal Commerce Clause, do you?
