[Know your rights]

A society whose only governmentally enforced rules are those against violating the rights of others...is fully a society.

I am quite certain that such a society has never existed and never will exist -

Perhaps not, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive for that goal.

every society has rules and structure and enforces them in one way or another. A government that acts against the enforcement of societal rules would be a government violently at odds with society.

Are you saying that if government didn't jail drug users and sellers, the mob would take the law in their own hands and overwhelm any government attempts to stop them? I have a higher opinion of the American people than that.

If we have any sense, yes. Of course, it depends on the drug. I wouldn't be too worried about a little pot. If someone is selling crack cocaine or heroin in my neighborhood then I am coming armed with my friends if the government didn't do anything.
