George Santayana summed up the situation very well when he talked about the lessons of history. I don’t use or approve of drug use, but it seems to me that our “cure” has proven worse than the disease. As long as that crap brings huge profits, the people who smuggle and peddle it, with all the attendant violence and corruption will be there.

Mexico needs to adopt the 2nd Amendment into their constitution and declare open season on the drug cartels.

That problem would cease in a heartbeat.

Legalizing such drugs will have the effect of opening season on dealers and addicts, who commit other crimes whether the drugs are legal or not. They are no better than animal pests.

Sure. Go ahead. Just don’t cry, when they are providing light for your streets.

There were drug problems during the earlier part of the last Century, and those were dealt with by our better recent ancestors with tougher measures and less tolerance. ...two or three decades essentially clean.

Sullum sounds like an old hippie who wants cheap fixes.

Perhaps he is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

He writes for “Reason”? In what world?

Prohibition does not work. Never has. Never will. Our own Federal government saw this first-hand with the Constitutional amendment against alcohol and it's repeal.

So why continue to pursue it? Why ban some drugs, some guns, some anything... ? Because the conflict it causes gives the government an excuse to build its bureaucracy, its centralized control, and its ever-growing militarization of police. To what good end? There is none. Ungood ends, on the other hand...

How dare you argue emotion with facts? Don’t you know American citizens are giving Mexican cartels their own arms like they did the British in WWII?

There is no “war on drugs.” That’s what’s so disgusting. If there were a war on drugs, all of the dopers would be dead. The world would be a better place then.
