"to justify another violation of rights (in this case, the War On Some Drugs)"

What rights are being violated, and who says so? You?

Sorry, you're entitled to your own opinions but not your oswn facts. The courts have ruled the CSA to be constitutional.

So, freebilly is taking a perfectly conservative position in wanting to end social programs, especially if they would be supporting drug users.

What rights are being violated

The right to "unobstructed action according to our own will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others" (Thomas Jefferson).

I also support ending social programs---what I oppose is using existing social programs as an excuse for other violations of rights.
