It's too bad someone hasn't come up with the idea of dividing a country into separate sub-jurisdictions so we could test different approaches to things like drug use, and the jurisdictions with the best approaches would gradually see those adopted across the board. Rather than dictating policy for the entire country without any sense of whether or not it is working.
 

Actually, that is an idea in progress. 4 years ago even the leftist libtards in California realized legal marijuana was a bad idea and so that proposition was defeated. Now that Colorado and Washington have allowed it - we will witness the free-fall of civil society in those states as crime and welfare rates increase.

Actually, if you bothered to look at the campaign funding, you would see that it was the alcohol lobby, the prison guard unions, police unions and the private prison corporations that piled millions into the effort to defeat it because it was going to interfere with their business model. But don't let what really happened get in the way of that fetish for using big government to make people live the way you say they should.
