BWAAaaahhhhhh, HHHaaaaaa, Haaaaa, haaaa, haaaa.... OH! You crack me up! Lets see... I have an irrational hate! Hmmm your words: "socialist," "communist," "WoD."; Yes, there is some deep hatred going on here. You won't see it from me though!
If you want help with your drug problem there are plenty of places you can go. It's sad reading your angry posts toward people who don't want or need mind altering drugs. If only you didn't have this deep seeded need to escape reality...
Of the reasons put forth for the Drug War, besides "drugs are bad", are the following.
1. Paternalistic attitude on the part of the drug warrior. Individuals are too stupid to run their own lives, so Big Government needs to do it for them. "People must be saved from themselves." kind of attitude. Despite the fact that our gene pool would be much cleaner if these defectives were allowed to "Darwin out".
2. Welfare/Medicare cost. The increase in social spending to support those so drugged out that they can no longer hold a job. Social programs in and of themselves are "communal" and collectivized. The VERY definition of "socialism". You bleeding heart communists just can't help but screaming "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN????" They aren't MY children. I can afford to pay my insurance premiums (at least for now). If it wasn't for increase in taxes due to MORE social spending, I could probably afford to support more charities than I currently do.
3. Crime. What the hell did you expect after disarming most of the populace? Pumping up the cost of a substance so that 1000% returns on investment can be realized. Even supposedly "legal" substances like tobacco are now being "black marketed" because of prohibitory taxation.
It took a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit alcohol. There has been no such Amendment for the illegal War on Drugs. No matter how you wish to rationalize it.
Also, about the only "drug" I use is a good single malt scotch or an Irish Ale. Not that that matters to a commie like yourself.
