Yes, I would. The whole point is that these guys who want to legalize drugs complain that the existing laws can’t be enforced... yet the replacement situation they offer isn’t any better. It’s a poor argument for what they really want: more control/more revenue.

We'll have to agree to disagree; it's clear to me that since young people report that they can get marijuana more easily than beer or cigarettes, age regulation is more enforceable than prohibition.

I agree that SOME who want to legalize drugs offer a regulation scheme that is in SOME respects no more enforceable than prohibition. Their proposals, whatever the motivation, are an improvement over the expensive, broadly unenforceable, and criminal-enriching status quo.
