I'm not interested in gaining 'control over everyone'.

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.

I don't share your naiveté regarding drug addicts and drug dealers.

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

Or I'm a social conservative instead of a libertarian.
