I am not sure what you mean, Ken. Do you mean that it is not a setback for the trafficers of death or do you mean that the Libertarian Party platform calling for the legalization of drugs will be passed?

Here is what your party calls for, Ken, in case there are some here that are not aware of what you stand for:

Repeal all laws establishing criminal or civil penalties for the use of drugs. Repeal laws that infringe upon individual rights to be secure in our persons, homes, and property as protected by the Fourth Amendment. Stop the use of "anti-crime" measures such as profiling or civil asset forfeiture that reduce the standard of proof historically borne by government in prosecutions. Stop prosecuting accused non-violent drug offenders, and pardon those previously convicted.

None of that will ever happen CMG we all know that. The federal as well as state and local governments and the prison industrial complex would lose so much income from the legalization of drugs the capital would look like the worlds biggest circus with all the bankers, corporitios and lobbyists that would pour in to protest. They'd be losing a huge share of their crooked livelyhoods.
