Prohibition didn’t work for alcohol, hasn’t worked for guns and has been a failure for drugs. But sure, it’ll work this time.


We can judge if its working or not by how many degenerates we have to trip over when walking around a city. Have you been to portland lately?

Alcohol is legal, yet we somehow manage to have open container laws.

So no, that isn't a good metric. Anyone who equates drug legalization with free open usage on public property, allowing tent cities, allowing loitering on private property against the wishes of the owner, etc, is either ignorant or intentionally disingenuous.

Thats not a drug problem. Its a welfare/appeasement issue.

These issues were exacerbated by uber liberal appeasement. People have always used drugs.

How a city polices its populous is a different issue. There are plenty of places where alcohol is legal that don’t remotely resemble the French Quarter.

There are also plenty of places where drugs are not legal or decriminalized that have huge homeless and vagrant problems.

You are conflating different problems.
