Still want? When did I say I wanted the War on Drugs? But I'll go through your points as I know you like that. I'll do it slightly differently than you do Toker, I'll answer the points instead of making up new meanings for them.

"Yes, it is. It is hypocritical for you to say your buzz is ok, but anothers is not."
I didn't say that. I said plant. Natural plant. You answer fictional questions instead of the ones written and make reference to tobacco when I quite clearly said "single sitting lethal recreational drugs" I like to try and keep debates specific.

"Nice try, but i wasn't talking about just recreational."
Yes, you were. The four drugs you personally named were "cocaine, opium, heroin or marijuana" all of which are recreational drugs.

"You think just because someone is in for coke or something, that they are violent"
Yet again here you chose to answer the first few words of the sentence and ignored the fact ".. I was not referring to users" but I'll answer your point anyway. Coke, no, it's the "or something" I'm talking about. I know people withdrawing from heroin are violent from experience and have read withdrawal from crack is worse. As the supply of drugs inside prisons is irregular at best users of these drugs would be a constant state of partial withdrawal.

"A tax on weed is why it is illegal in the first place."
In the U.S., or is that the only one that matters? Rather limited argument in either case.

"I don't like over regulating things. Your tax the weed plan would more then likely do just that. "
It's not my tax the weed plan it's what realists know will happen. If I could buy a licence to grow I'd do it tomorrow and buy a packet of high thc, low tar, spliffs from the local store on the way. To make people buy taxed cannabis they have to make it cheaper than black market cannabis so please legalise and tax me.

"It's not the politicians that need convincing, it's the voters."
Don't the politicians have to put forward a manifesto before people can vote on it? How are you going to vote for legalisation if the politicians don't want it? Oh, I see the confusion, I'm talking about real politicians and you're talking about people who won't get 4% of the vote. So you're really just saying, yet again, everyone should vote Libertarian. *yawn*

"I won't settle for doing away with only part of the drug war just because it seems a more likely win."
I will. I'm a cannabis grower on a cannabis forum talking about cannabis, strange as it may seem I want cannabis legalised.

And back to your "drug war" statements. I haven't got one in my country and don't support the one in the U.S. Bush is the anti-Midas in my eyes, everything he touches turns to shit. I would never be greedy or stupid enough to vote Republican but half the people who managed to get off their arses in the last US election did. America's war on drugs will end when Americans stop voting for it.
