So I invite them and others to start over here.

These three points are dealt with by observing Prohibition. The same oberservations could be made about alcohol in the 1920s (when the pro-Prohibition forces created the violent gangland of the day).
Libertarians, like those who ended Prohibition, recognize that the War on Drugs is just as unwinnable as was the War on Alcohol, not to mention that it is harming our civil rights.

I agree. However, the response we libertarians often get is that drug users do harm other people -- through their own violence, driving under the influence and funding the violent underground.DTLoken: I fully support this so long as it's only sold to adults. The Government has no place in telling an adult what he or she can do, so long as they're not harming someone else.
