People, generally, don't drink and drive. People, generally, don't do illegal drugs. The way our system is set up, people don't perform these "undesirable actions", for fear of the negative consequences of performing them. If you feel there is a better way, that is you opinion. But, the American justice system is specifically set up to punish people for "undesirable actions", whether or not the punishment helps prevent the "undesirable action". I, personally, feel that the system is such that MOST people don't perform "undesirable actions", even though some, unfortunately, do.
Did you even read my post? Apparently not. I acknowledged the role of laws in a society in regard to DUI and speeding and it was far from advocating anarchy (anarchy has its place to a degree but that is another discussion). However, your view of laws pertaining to drugs use is purely academic and disconnected from reality.
