End ALL welfare, ALL taxpayer-funded medical care, and ALL tax-payer-funded substance abuse treatment programs, and revise the laws across the land to hold people fully responsible for any act they commit while under the influence of self-administered drugs (including alcohol), and THEN we can talk about ending the "war on drugs".

Sounds good to me.
Then we can talk about ending the Internal Revenue Service also.

Yep. The GovernmentShrinker platform has a plan for that too. Make states pay a flat rate per congressional representative from their state, which approximates each state's share of the population. Then let the states decide how to raise the funds. This would create huge pressure to reduce the federal tax burden, and would also set off a much needed competition between states to find the best way to assess and collect taxes without causing their most productive citizens to flee the state in droves (and while attracting productive citizens who are fleeing other states).
