Excellent points. And at the same time the Gov't decrees that we're all competent to decide on other drugs (caffeine, cold medicines, herbal remedies, etc.).

Just the other day I was explaining to a friend that we often look for a reason, a logical rationale for why politicians create certain laws, many laws. But it's a fools journey because there's rational, logic or reason underpinning them. They merely create the illusion of logic and reason. It's surface logic. Sounds good until.... until a person digs deeper. The real reason, logic they create most laws is to justify their jobs and funding for their budgets. Mostly, it's to justify their unearned paychecks and unearned power and glory.
Seeing as it's all illusion of power and glory who or what holds real power? Well, 95++% of the people don't initiate force -- assault, theft fraud -- against other persons or their property. The reason is not political or because it's against the law. But rather, because they have respect for others and the nature of human consciousness abides the golden rule.
Despite almost every person breaking more than just traffic laws several times each year -- business owners each month if not week -- with that massive lawlessness persons and society have, year to year, decade after decade for over a century, increasingly. prospered.
The federal government alone creates on average 3,000 new laws and regulations each year. People and society increasingly prosper without the supposed benefits of future laws to come next year, five, ten twenty-five years away.
It should become obvious who has real power and earned paychecks and prestige. Their deflecting illusions are wearing ever thinner. Opposing directions, on the one hand there's more and more individuals waking up to the reality that they, themselves -- their conscious mind -- is the highest authority. Not the State. On the other hand the parasites -- politicians and bureaucrats gaining unearned power, prestige and paychecks off the backs of the real benefactors of society--the workers and entrepreneurs -- are increasingly more blatant in foisting their illusions on people.
The house of cards is collapsing with the momentum of a snowballing effect.
The key to survival is a persons ability to honestly/rationally answer these two questions:
Who is the value destroyer? Who is the value producer?
P.S. Think about the effects, consequences if next week the government was 100% successful in enforcing the WOD. Using the system they created. Hint: there's 40 million casual illicit drug users and 20 million regular illicit drug users.
