Do you?

Link to where Stossel has said that getting rid of the illegality will get rid of the problems? Don't have one? Oh, so that's just a straw man you created?

Most opposed to the WOD mentality recognize there are still problems, but believe them less than those created by that mentality.

But you proceed with your straw men.

Thanks for proving to me and anyone who reads the thread that you have no idea what a straw-man argument is. Even after I explained it to you.

Good job!

And by the way, read his book. In it he clearly lays out many of the problems associated with the WOD and on drug usage. He does not claim that ending the WOD will get rid of ALL the problems (as Physicist rightly pointed out). However, by stating the problems beyond the problems associated with the WOD, the implication is that if we legalize drugs, the other problems will go away, too. He has cited sources that believe legalizing and taxing the product will generate enough revenue to cover problems related to drug usage.

But hey. That's all irrelevant, isn't it.
