We tried this; it was called Prohibition .... I'm to the point where I think the WOD is a collosal failure. Legalize it all ... 20 years will reduce the problem via Darwinian social selection.

Truer words were never spoken. The WOD has indeed failed in all the ways Prohibition failed.

The difference is "forfeiture". I suspect that if we had forfeiture during the Prohibition era, we'd still have Prohibition.

They did have forfiture during alcohol prohibition.

It failed anyhow. First the states stopped enforcing the booze laws (started with NY for booze CA for pot). After that it was only a matter of time.
