We're trying to ban various other drugs now. In case you didn't notice it, this ban isn't working either.We're trying to ban murder, rape, and robbery now. Those bans aren't working either - consider how busy the criminal courts are with such cases. Should we abandon those bans too?

We're trying to ban murder, rape, and robbery now. Apples and oranges. I was comparing a prohibition of a drug to a prohibition of other drugs, not to a prohibition of violent crime.

(Mind you the prohibition of drugs leads to violent crime, but that's another story.)
