I've heard this kind of argument multiple times talking to people about legalization/decriminalization of drugs. I just assumed GP meant their comment that way.
I know this is super post-mortem regarding my comment, but my "bullshit" claim was directed at the "Maybe Ulbright is not the world's greatest human, but his service may have saved more lives than anything" and "It's not a far stretch to make the case that the Silk Road makes the world, especially America a safer place". Everyone and their dog is against the drug war, I had no expectation that people here would assume I was for it.
