You are not denying it, you just want to keep staying away from that primary point, legalizing drugs is undeniably, a left wing goal.
I thought the primary point was the abuse of statistical data and overblown hyperobole being used to justify the drug war. Just because there's a Democrat lying to me about something that doesn't mean a Republican will tell me the truth about it.
You're pushing a fallacy of over-simplification. The Democrats control the executive and both houses of Congress. If ending the drug war was really one of their objectives, they'd have done it, or at least tried. You're right that most of the activism to legalize marijuana comes from the left. It's also true that leftist organizations like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation consistently push for increased federal control of all health care issues, including all drugs.
