No matter what happens, no matter what anyone does, people will still use drugs. Which would be better, A. to have a bunch of drug addicts (as we did in the 19th century), or B. to have a bunch of drug addicts and the international drug crime syndicate created by federal legislation that made drug dealing financially lucrative and the drug warrior syndicate created by federal legislation because previous federal legislation made both drug dealing and drug fighting financially lucrative? We have the choice of evil (lives ruined by drugs) or evil multiply compounded by "we only want to help" you government.
