You take them to court for creating a danger zone in your country the same as the drug war takes them to war.

Isn’t that the rationale behind the drug war, that drugs degrade and endanger the community?

Does the individual have a legitimate complaint if it [the war on drugs] ‘enriches criminals’ but an individual cannot take that to court because he’ll be told he has no standing since that particular individual has experience no provable harm?

Enriching criminals is self-evidently bad policy - I don't know what taking anyone to court has to do with that.

I take who to court, and why? Shouldn't bad policy be defeated in the forum of public debate and then in the voting booth, rather than in court?

That's one professed rationale out of many.
