Yeah I think we mostly agree. The only point of disagreement, from my perspective, is that I think we already know that crackdowns don't work no matter how stringent. People will drink (Prohibition) and do drugs (War on Drugs) regardless. Yes, there are societal costs and I think it's right to consider them, but I think those costs exist regardless, and we add onto them by taking the same punitive (and expensive) approach we've tried over and over again.
