I don't support wars on drugs - But I live in Europe, so I've never really seen that. There's a difference between war on drugs and just plainly legalize everything. At the least, I see no reason drug users would prefer the government's drugs to their usual everyday dealer - Why should they? If I did drugs and bought them from some dealer, I wouldn't start buying them to the government, specially with the damn taxes.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
