You want to see how it's bad, compare the rate of violent crimes before and during Prohibition.


Your argument there makes no sense, because populations during prohibition were much, much lower than now. There would have been a lower crime rate regardless.

Anyway, I think the 'war' on drugs is stupid, and the WRONG approach to removing harmful drugs like meth and crack-cocaine from our cities. Instead of enforcement and throwing people in jail, ruining their lives even more, they should rehabilitate them and get them actual treatment for their addictions, rather than letting them rot for years in a cell and getting worse.

This, combined with proper (read: not lies and hyperbole that is often presented as truth. Example: Marijuana making you a failure in life) education on harmful drugs and their effects in schools and poorer communities where youth would be more at risk of becoming a heavy drug user would also help.

Less harmful 'soft drugs' such as cannabis etc. should also be decriminalized, or legalized in my opinion.
