If you, Phenomenon, eliminate government's role in drug policy aren't you then simply advocating the status quo and encouraging the prison-industrial complex along with a host of other serious social, economic and humanitarian problems? Somebody is going to control the drugs. Who or what do you recommend?
What? If the government abandoned its drug control policy, who would be arresting people and putting them in jail for drug manufacture/distribution/use‽‽‽
That's a fair point. Although we are getting off-topic, i.e. Silk Road and Bitcoin. Seems to me government has already abandoned drug control, the actual number of people caught and drugs interdicted are but a small fraction of the total consumer market. A market SR and Bitcoin seem to embrace, despite the low-life thugs and psychopathic killers who populate it. You are known by the company you keep, my mother use to tell me.
