Your but/for criminals is just way off, unless you thing druge users (i.e., those that create demand) are criminals. Seriously, do you put "drugs" in a different category as booze? As nicotine? As prescribed drugs? There is little to no violence associated with those substances, yet the only real difference is that they are legal or legal, but regulated.

I haven't scrolled before posting, but the fact that hers works does not mean that my doesn't. And the fact that mine does (my "but for" that is) clearly places drug users in the category of those responsible. They create demand. They provide high profit margins by their willingness to pay 40-100K (retail) for a kilo of cocaine derivatives. How much do Budweiser drinkers pay to keep last call going for an extra 5 minutes?
As for the "different category" question, yes, I do. "drugs" are illegal. People who use "drugs" aren't civil rights protestors sitting at an integrated lunch counter. They are selfish and immoral people who create a demand knowing that without their demand, thousands of Americans, thousands of South Americans, and thousands of others would be alive. Among those thousands are an occasional child in an inner city.
Like I said, I'm for legalization. But you tell me that those murders would occur if users weren't using. Illegally. You aren't saying that, are you?
