I don't disagree that drug use isn't a problem. But when the junkie buys his heroin at the liquor store, he's not sending billions of dollars out of the country for cartels so they can buy weapons to murder people with. Drug use isn't *the* problem, it's just *a* problem, and a tiny one compared to prohibition. When there's a crackhouse in your neighborhood, that's because no one can buy this at the liquor store.

But whether there's a crackhouse, or a liquor store in my neighbourhood that sells crack, there will be crackheads around. And that's the main problem. If you don't agree, just take some walks through neighbourhoods with a large number of drug addicts. On my street everything from petty crime to casual assault to literal stabbings have skyrocketed. It doesn't matter where the drugs come from; it matters where it ends up, and where it ends up is inside the brains of our brand-new underclass.
