Default Re: Why the war on drugs will never be won

[ QUOTE ]
This is actually pretty good. When people demand something, the market will always provide it, whether legally or illegally.

This is, again, unbelievably ignorant to common sense. Drug use is demanded because of temptation. Yes, temptation will always exist. Simply because there is demand for something doesn't mean we should legally and cheaply supply it. There are black markets for child porn, murder for hire, tax fraud outlets, and yes, drugs. To argue that drugs are a victimless crime is even further ignorant to any real life experience with drugs or drug users.

Step out of the abstracts for a moment and maybe think about the day in the life of a helpless addict.
