You don't need legalization of drugs to actually get them. They are available already. I don't want the use of illicit drugs to become an acceptable part of our society. The Europeans ,especially Denmark, have had a bad experience with legalized drugs in their society, and they are reexamining those policies.

There's a difference between "acceptable" and "illegal." I'm all for making drug users societal pariahs, but their illegality and the subsequent drug war is a disaster.

The current cure is worse than the cold. The laws of economics say that we cannot win the drug war in a free and capitalist society. There is a demand, therefore they will be a supply.

Correct. The WOD is an abject failure. Thanks for pointing that out.

Please reference the proof of your assertion.

Not to mention you seem to think the US has no bad experiences with drugs using their guns and corruption unconstitutional approach.
