That is a great point. I have no idea how anyone could be so brainwashed as to not agree. How many ruined lives is one less arbitrarily illegal drug user worth?

That is a great point. I have no idea how anyone could be so brainwashed as to not agree. How many ruined lives is one less arbitrarily illegal drug user worth? I think that the kind of people who would agree with prohibition at any cost are followers who won't think for themselves, have no knowledge or interest in history or hopes for a better future, and would have happily extolled the virtues of drug legalization if that had happened to be the policy at the time. These people seem to attribute no value to civil liberties at all.
