They're not the only ones who fall into this trap - plenty of otherwise reasonable conservatives get fooled into thinking this is an issue of stoners vs. normal people. "Heck, I don't use drugs, why should I mind if the federal government increases its power to police drug use?"

"What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long."
-- Thomas Sowell
