I agree that marijuana ought to be decriminalized, and that the asset forfeiture laws are absurd, but I am not prepared to give up on curtailing the use of hard drugs....

<< Which is the greater threat to our freedom, some citizens puffing a little weed or these pernicious asset forfeiture laws? >> There is a greater threat to our freedom and the world. The "evil" drug pushers are becoming billionaires. As their great wealth increases they will be able to increase their power over many countries, including the US. I fear what will happen to this world if the drug lords keep getting more and more powerful, especially because of America's failure to develop and implement, or even discuss a workable solution to the drug problem.
