There was never a war on drugs. It’s ‘fought’ like the war on terror and war on poverty - spend lots of blood and treasure while not really trying to win.
Methinks those who advocate legalization should find another excuse to do it, like inceasing tax revenue, get corruption out of gov’t, or something.

I can’t follow your reasoning here. The War on Terror and the War on Poverty not working are good reasons to get rid of them, too.
You can’t wage a war on terror while keeping the border open at the same time.
If you believe in the scientific method of research them we have gone through the theory phase and the experimental phase of the research with the 18th and 21st amendments to the Constitution and Richard Milhous Nixon’s war on drugs. Based on what happened during prohibition. Baby Face Nelson, Machine Gun Kelly, John Dillinger and others shooting up the nation to control illegal liquor and now every drug dealer in sight or out of sight shooting each other I think we have pretty good experimental evidence of the illegal side of drugs.
Now since most of you obviously don’t approve of the scientific method I think we should reintroduce prohibition.
The comparison of drugs to murder is poor logic IMHO. Make a better argument.
