FAILED DRUG POLICIES PROMOTE ILLEGAL CARTELS

If you use drugs, you may be supporting the drug cartels. But if you 
support our repressive drug laws, you are making drug crimes enormously 
profitable, thereby making the cartels obscenely wealthy.

Which is worse - buying a little dope or promoting our demonstratively 
failed drug policies? It seems like a "six or a half-dozen of the other" 
thing to me.
