"Indeed, when the United States wanted to outlaw alcohol, it amended the Constitution itself to do so. The country has never adopted such a constitutional authorization for drug prohibition."

So has every other war against every other crime. Does that mean we should just make it all legal so we don't have to spend money? If not, just exactly where do we draw the line?

How about some amendments for the war on some drugs like they had the courtesy to enact for alcohol prohibition. Making alcohol requires work. Many of these drugs are found in nature and are medicinally useful.

If you want. I've just never understood the whole argument that falls along the lines of "Well they've been fighting against drugs for decades and people are still using drugs, so the war is lost. Lets give up." Every crime continues. That doesn't give us a reason to make the thing (whatever it is) legal. There needs to be some other argument made.
