I recognize a failed program, like Prohibition. And, see no reason to spend more treasure, kill innocent people, ruin the lives of minor offenders, destroy the culture of Mexico, and decrease our own civil rights over a failed program. Cigarettes are more addictive than many drugs. Yet, with the proper program we've severely reduced the number of smokers, without outlawing nicotine.
As to QD, when he looks in the mirror, he sees the sad result of a failed life.
