> Does that outweigh the whirlpool of violence that the War on Drugs has stirred up by its very existence?

Did anyone imply in the slightest that it does? No one defended the War on Drugs. They suggested that some drug use poses a public health problem, and thus that zero regulation is inappropriate. To equate that with support for the War on Drugs is plainly dishonest.

What regulation is appropriate, then?
