My program is to try and execute those who push heroin, LSD, crack, meth.

Your program is to make heroin, LSD, crack, meth all legal, cheaper, more readily available. So you want to kill more users while I want to have the pushers killed (trial + execution)

That wouldn't make a significant difference. Dealers now face an imminent threat of death from competitors or twitchy customers, yet they continue dealing, and when one dies or is arrested another springs up to take his place.

Your program is to make heroin, LSD, crack, meth all legal, cheaper, more readily available.

Relegalization would reduce the following effects of the War On Some Drugs: deaths of innocents in drug-turf wars; deaths of users due to impurities or unexpectedly high potencies; enrichment of criminals; corruption of the justice system by enriched criminals; and lessened respect for the law in general.

Like hell it is. Don't assume that I want to legalize all drugs all because I disagree with your execution plans.

I still don't know why you don't want to execute drunk drivers, who kill much more people than drug dealers.
