Wilson does seem alittle bit almost persuaded in that vid. in ne part he's against the criminal aspect and also allowing personal use ( i really don't know he didn't make it clear if that he would incarcerate someone who is just using and still playing a part in society), his views seemed a bit stressed and contradicting.

This issue need not even be addressed from a practical perspective. It is in such explicit violation of inherent inalienable individual liberties, that to suggest argumentatively any practical justifications for disallowing the individual the right to his body could possibly compensate for the moral discrepancies is nothing short of offensive.

Wilson scares me a bit with a few of his comments but he is definitely not a "drug warrior." He seems more like an uncle of advanced age who is behind the times. Nadelmann did a great job, as usual. The only complaint I have is that Wilson was not challenged hard enough on the "do we really need more drugs available" argument. But I come away from every prohibition debate with the same complaint.

The Drug War is the biggest waste of time and your hard earned cash in the history of mankind
The marketplace for these prohibited substances is governed by simple supply and demand, nothing else. Decrease the supply and demand goes up, along with prices. Every drug bust just drives up the price which then increases the drug problem. The more money a drug addict needs the more crime he's likely to commit and the more profit that goes to the drug mafia.

No collaboration of individuals or body of spontaneous rulemakers enjoys any right to coercively enforce upon you regulations which state what is and is not an acceptable substance for you to consume.
