Drugs are cheaper than ever and the criminals who wholesale them have become multi, gluti, zulti quadrillionaires. Besides all that, the drug war is going great. We don't want to see someone standing on the curb puffing away to get blissful do we? Anyone who is FOR a drug war and thinks they are PRO-Bill of Rights has some intellectual gears grinding.

Getting rid of one without also eliminating the other would have tremendous negative consequences, both practically and morally: In a practical sense, it would increase the risk of violence against innocents caught in the crossfire; and in a moral sense, it would continue to send a false, evil message regarding responsibility.

I dunno, maybe get rid of the policies that directly result in shooting grandmothers? The ones that are nearly universally unpopular, like sending tens of thousands of dollars of SWAT teams after a dime bag of pot? It just seems to me like there are a lot of people who think the above example is a waste of time and money, but don't think legal crack or a pile of stoners all in a row on the freeway is a good idea.
