Lucky for you guys there is no war on ignorance and illogic.

LOL. One can make various arguments for or against the regulation of certain substances, but the particular argument that because passing a law has not eliminated the outlawed activity, therefore the law should be removed from the books is practically the definition of illogic.

No, that is the strawman argument that people like yourself put into the mouths of those who want to end the drug war. The real argument is that the prosecution of the "War on Drugs" has resulted in militarized local police forces, no-knock warrants, pre-trial asset seizures and forfeitures, an explosion in the prison population, and an extremely lucrative black market which funds and perpetuates mafias, gangs, drug cartels, not to mention corrupts entire governments into becoming narco-states.

In other words, the "War on Drugs" shreds our Constitution and is far, far worse than the problem of drug use. Get it now, or are you too busy watching "Reefer Madness"?

Also, all of you keyboard drug warriors should remember that you are not having this discussion with some zombied-out, body-pierced, lowlife named "Meatpipe" at an Occupy Berkley rally. You are discussing this with fellow conservatives on a conservative board (and the occasional troll). So your petty assumptions and snarky remarks about how druggies will say anything to get high don't apply here. Try making reasonable arguments that follow the rule of law.

I agree. So is equating burglary and murder to pot smoking. It is like comparing being drunk to burglary to burglary and murder.

No, the problem isn't that it hasn't eliminated the problem, it's that the cure is worse than the disease.
