In fact, I was just going to use it, but you beat me to it.

I skimmed the comment thread real quick, and it reads like the very definition of a stereotypical war on drugs discussion.

1) They’re “just” druggies, I believe the cops.

2) Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

3) Maybe the cops did screw up, but this is an aberration. And it’s the price we have to pay to eradicate drugs.

4) Prohibition isn’t a valid example because alcohol is different.

5) Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

6) Anyone can come up with a “study.” Probably done by potheads anyway.

7) Did I mention that drugs are bad?

I suggest you submit your thoughtful opinions regarding our failed drug policy to a print publication, then your letters or op-ed can be posted on the web site: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews
then thousands of like minded people will read what you wrote.
