Let's list the dangers of the drugs anyway while we are at it.
1) Lacing. Caused by the drug war.
2) Drug pushers of harder drugs. Caused by the drug war.
3) 50 billion bucks--tax dollars-spent on the drug war each year
4) Gangs. Caused by the drug war.
5) Deaths. Not prevented by the drug war. The drug war does not stop drugs from entering this country nor does it deter use. 6) 4th, 5th and 10th amendment trampled on. Caused by the drug war.
You fail to realize a host of problems are created by the drug war.
And you fail to realize the problems caused by drug abuse. Broken families, wasted lives, criminality, etc. etc.
Since time began there has been a war against murder, rape, theft, etc. etc. Should we give up those "wars" also?
