I do know how I feel, but using the price to reach his conclusion tells us almost nothing, without an analysis of changes in demand and supply. At a minimum, one would have to determine what portion of the $500 price resulted from product costs and what from delivery costs (which is the thing principally affected by the criminal-enforcement regime) in order to make a semi-coherent conclusion.
That said, it's quite clear the war on drugs is less a morass than Iraq principally because it's been a complete and utter failure, rather than only of ambiguous benefits.

The Chicago Suntimes has an article today indicating that the Chicago police department is looking at making possession of up to 30 grams of marijuana an administrative matter (by fines). The only thing that makes me madder than throwing 300K black kids (actually, kids of any color) in jail for selling dope to junkies is knowing that 92% of the junkies (actually, 92% of all buyers and holders) holding less than 5 or 10 grams have their cases dismissed. The whole war is a hypocritical disaster.
