I've got two reasons to disagree with you, but I'm sure you'd agree that the last thing FR needs is another pointless "drugs" thread.

It isn't pointless to debate the efficacy of drug laws. We either get tougher, which means death penalties for dealers and hard time for casual users, or we legalize the stuff and let people deal with it in their own way. At some point, we may find that people are actually able to deal with it. Then, all those people spending their lives in an underground economy will have an incentive to open some more legitimate business, and the people that do drugs won't have to steal my iPod or my laptop or my car to keep up their habit. Conservatives are, after all, for less government, and drug laws are not a very good example of less government.
