I disagree with the war on drugs because I like(d) to smoke dope and because I believe that the WoD itself is causing more harm than the substances themselves.

this is because all the anti drug laws only attack the SUPPLY portion of the drug market.
the demand will always be there because people like you want to smoke.
the only way to finish off drugs is to attack it on two fronts:
continue attacking the supply portion, and attack the demand portion.
however, the demand is not easily lowered because it involves personal preferences. right now, anti drug campaigns, and counseling, and love are the best alternatives... and you see where that has gotten us?
the war on drugs is going nowhere, but at least holding down the supply is at least one half hte battle.
if you get rid of the anti drug laws, supply will rocket, demand will stay relatively the same, though maybe a bit higher for curious folks, but overall the prices will plummet and drug lords will fight and kill each other for territory and so on...
etc....
economics..
