It’s not a white flag, it’s the better solution. Legalizing without excessive taxation and allowing the corporate world to take over is the right answer. We don’t have beer companies getting into wars in the street, nobody worries what their Johnny Walker has been cut with. It’s not surrender to realize that 90% of the problems with drugs are because it’s a black market, and the other 10% is people that are going to find a way to destroy their lives anyway the only variable is method.
You seriously cannot equate beer and liquor to marijuana, meth and cocaine. You might as well solve our murder problems by surrendering in the WOM.
That is the better analogy.
