[...] the supporters of prohibition are limited to a hysterical clergyman (not exactly a fountain of rational thought), and Peter fucking Hitchens, you know the jig is up. [...]

I’ve always been willing to accept a regulating market may well be the best of all solutions.

And let’s face it, if they’ll accept prohibition, they’ll accept anything.

The details, though, at this point in time, are less important that winning the public over the basic point that prohibition fucks things up.

Because an unregulated, free market drug trade would be too much bullshit for the public.

Start of with the basic priciple, then maybe later on, the public will reach the rational conclusion that a completely unregulated drugs market would be the most efficient and cost reducing measure to introduce.

Fat chance eh?
