since rape and murder have real victims that resist the crime and help punish it, my logic does not apply to those real crimes.

(Just wanted to note here that you didn't respond to my argument.)

Legalizing drugs would end up turning more Americans into losers and dead people at the publics expense.

Dead people don't cost much; and while these increased expenses are speculative, and along with drug criminalization are part of the Nanny State that I oppose, the costs of drug criminalization are real.

Drugs are total crap basically, and your thoughts are that the way a problem goes away is to make it legal.

Legalization is not the answer to the problem of drug use, but it's now clear that criminalization is also not the answer. Legalization is the answer to the problems created by criminalization.

All that would do is make the problem spread more and give people the impression it was safe

Does keeping alcohol and tobacco legal give people the impression they are safe? If so, should we for that reason make alcohol and tobacco illegal?

You sound to me like the drifter who offers candy to children that is laces with razor blades or Satan himself who pushes evil while attempting to pose as the light of truth.

You're funny. I'd use that as my tagline if I didn't already have one I liked.

There are drug lords, terrorists and other criminals profiting from drug crimes

They couldn't profit from drugs if drugs were legal.

Exactly what your Soros wants. But he knows he can profit.
