Then as it pertains to the success of drug prohibition, what’s your standard for failure?

There are always people that are going to do things that are against the law. That isn't a failure of the law - it's a failure of human nature.

But back to my original point, it's simply assinine to think that the drug lords in Mexico are suddenly going to become law-abiding citizens if pot is made legal. They'll just go to something else. Do we continue to legalize everything they take up until there's no other illegal thing they can benefit from? I would say no. What say you?
