Even China and Iran have drug problems; there's no chance we can end ours and remain a free society.
You sound like a rino talking about immigration. It's a war of attrition. Raise the prices through strict enforcement of rules brings the drugs out of reach. Allow for crop irradication in Columbia via air planes will destroy 80% of the coke coming into this country.
I support laws against clear and present endangerment of others' rights. Drug use is not such an act.
Yeah, yeah it is.
It is simply impractical at this point to outlaw alcohol. It is not impractical dramatically reduce the availability of drugs. I'd be cool with outlawing both, but you gotta do what you can.
No, not equal ... the lower the price, the less the user needs to steal to pay it.
Again - silly. The lower the price, the more available it is and the less ABILITY to pay for it. It would have to be given away for free. AIDS isn't enough to scare people into buying needles. The gov'ment must give them away for free. Same for the drug.
AND most crimes committed by drug abusers are not done to buy the drug. That is an idiotic 'Libertarian Party' argument that has no science or evidence behind it.
See this recent example. 11 year old dead trying to save her younger brother from someone high on what you want to make as prevelant as cigarettes. Maybe if it were your kid you'd think differently.

Nonsense ... China and Iran don't have immigration problems.

No, no it's not.

Nonsense; the drug war is proving to be every bit the failure that Prohibition was.

At least you're honest about your contempt for liberty.
No, not equal ... the lower the price, the less the user needs to steal to pay it.
Again - silly. The lower the price, the more available it is and the less ABILITY to pay for it.
You're babbling.
AND most crimes committed by drug abusers are not done to buy the drug. [...] See this recent example.
A single example (or even several) don't prove a general claim like yours. Do you have any actual proof?
