How else can you gain enough control over everyone else to keep them from hurting themselves?

Non-sequitur. I'm not interested in gaining 'control over everyone'. I'm interested in prosecuting criminals who violate our drug laws.

Yes. You are. An individual does drugs. Who do they hurt? Themselves. Everything else involved in the drug war stems from the side effects of government trying to keep someone from hurting themselves. The violence, the attendant other forms of criminal activity, the loss of freedom... All are side effects.

Without there being a perp and a victim, there can be no crime. If there is no tort created, why do we need a LAW other than as a mechanism for controlling the behavior of someone else.

So you are either very confused over the basis for your position, or you are a liar.
