I agree that we must take extraordinary care to prevent and punish excesses. But I'm confident that the WOD is having a beneficial impact -- thus, the dealers and transporters screaming about their "constitutional" rights. I'm not confident that there will ever come a time when we can say, "Well, the battle is over; illegal drugs are no longer a threat to our society."
The history of marijuana prohitiion has been one of excessive bureaucratic zeal and dogmatic ideology. All of the legitimate research done on it has shown that our current policy is excessive.
Is your confidence that the WOD is having a "beneficial impact" based on anything other than the information provided by those who wage that war? Has any bureaucracy ever presented information for public consumption showing that they're not having a "beneficial impact"?
