Or that the recent big bust at UC San Diego, it shouldn't have been done because the girl that OD'd and died in her dorm room was a good thing?

No, it shouldn't have gone down because the government isn't here to protect us from our own stupidity.

Or that the Colombian drug cartel's should have been left alone and allowed to run the country, killing and raping whomever they wanted whenever they wanted?

K, lets do some simple econ..
Supply decreases, price increases (assuming demand stays the same). Supply is cut down due to laws. Prices increase, although actual cost of producing good is pretty much unchanged. Profits can be high (risk of getting caught isn't going to be a part of monetary cost of production).
Cartels (here or there) cause violence because gaining "turf" is profitable. On the other hand, if they are going to kill and rape regardless, that has nothing to do with drugs anyway, so it's a moot point.
No it doesn't, it stinks like a hooker's snatch. I'm still curious as to what part of the constitution supports the DEA.
