Thread's name sounded to me like "Work is our friend, we'll never touch it, vodka is our enemy, we'll annihilate it!"

Thought they have a war on drugs destroying them by consuming them...

It's funny how you can spin things, Funked.

Here, the first thing I thought was:

Just TRUE actual punishment for a crime committed.

It's moral absolutism/fascism that gave us stuff like prohibition... and the corresponding black market, murder rate, and Kennedy family.

Beware of freedom. It does dangerous things like let people choose for themself.

He probably teaches personal freedom should trump Bull**** laws like Drug laws.

But feel free to keep thinking the war on drugs is anything but a HUGE waste of money.

The victim is themselves, but I guess we need more nanny laws? If you do not believe in the seat belt law...

Stay involved with your kids, teach them well, you won't need any drug laws

Morality played a part but patriotism was the nail in the coffin..

National Prohibition was defended as a war measure. The amendment's proponents argued that grain should be made into bread for fighting men and not for liquor. Anti-German sentiment aided Prohibition's approval. The Anti-Saloon League called Milwaukee's brewers "the worst of all our German enemies," and dubbed their beer "Kaiser brew."

I'm not arguing the "war on drugs"

to say drug use is a victimless act is foolish and ignorant at best. just because you don't personally know the drug mule who gets murdered in mexico for not delivering on time doesn't mean he is irrelevant.

try and rationalize it all you want, but drug use can and does harm people, sometimes innocent bystanders.

What came first, the drug mule, or the legislation that made it a viable career?
