For Stossel to predict that if we eliminated the WOD all the problems associated with recreational drug usage would disappear is no different than, as he says, the ecowhackos following psychics instead of science.

He's never said anything of the sort. He says and believes that it's not the governments business to police what people do to themselves, and he simply points out that after decades of the "WOD", drugs are more plentiful, cheap, and easily obtained than ever.

The WOD is a failure just as much as the War on Poverty has been on fixing that issue.
What's the difference between sitting at home knocking down a 5th of Jack Daniels each night and sitting at home smoking dope, doing blow or anything else? In the end you still wind up wasted out of your mind and going nowhere. Prohibition proved you cannot regulate nor legislate morality and attempting to do so only invites criminal activity.

He did not say that.

For Stossel to predict that if we eliminated the WOD all the problems associated with recreational drug usage would disappear Except Stossel makes no such prediction; not even close. He predicts--and rightfully so--that if we eliminated prohibition the problems associated with prohibition would disappear.

If he said that, I would disagree with him. Nevertheless, for other reasons, I firmly agree that the WOD needs to be brought to a halt.
