I suggest you think a bit harder about the causes and effects of this situation, because you seem to have them reversed.

How we got here is largely irrelevant to the very real fact that the drug trade is impossible to describe as victimless.

That attempt at logic could be applied to any number of otherwise harmeless situations. It doesn't really hold up imo.

It is not impossible. Some guy grows weed in his spare room and sells to his friend. No victim there.

That's certainly not the reality of the cocaine and heroin trade.
