What a rude and irrelevant response to what was, in fact, a direct response to the question you posted (if not the one you meant).

I said you dodged the question, which you did. You instead went off on a tangent argument that made it clear only by my inference that you are willing to accept any outcome, as long as the WOD is put to an end. Duly noted.

What part of that was irrelevant? And what was rude?

For those who advocate legalization on practical grounds, NOT constitutional grounds, what outcome of legalization would constitute a failure in your book?

That is your post. Those are your words. If, in response to the question "what outcome of legalization would constitute a failure", you receive a list of outcomes that the poster believes would constitute a failure, you have received a direct response, not a dodge. I do not know how that fact could be any more clear.

If you're still unsure how, exactly, my list of undesired outcomes is the direct response to your question of a failure of legalization on practical grounds, think about the question in reverse: what are the practical problems caused by having marijuana illegal? Those are the problems that one who advocates legalization from a purely practical perspective would hope to solve. Therefore, if those problems were not solved by legalization, that legalization would have been a failure from a practical perspective. And that is the exact answer I presented to you, which you rejected out of hand, presumably because you did not in fact want an answer, but merely wanted to bait someone into arguing over your anti-marijuana views.
