The argument is that people will break the law, so why have laws if they’re going to do that ? It’s “unwinnable.”

No you can't - in the USA, 2 in 3 murders get solved, whereas the fraction of drug "crimes" that even get detected is probably no more than 2 in 3,000.

Laws against consensual acts of adults fail because everyone involved wants the act to succeed and go undetected ... unlike, say, murder.

No it's not - I told you why the war on pot is far less winnable than the war on murder.
