If you regard preventing the destruction of society as a moral issue, then yeah.

The drug war has only destabilized Mexico, the US border, and militarized law enforcement. Your building yourself a cage to sit in, under the pretense of preventing the destruction of society. Legalize it all and let the market of ideas and capabilities straighten things out.

Some of the consequences we see from the drug war are the result of the incompetent manner in which we insist on fighting it.

But I want you to contemplate another drug war in history. The one in which the nation fighting it lost, and drugs became legalized.

If you want to talk about destabilization, brother you ain't seen nothing.

If you think our response to drugs is bad, you should see how much worse was the alternative.
