Perhaps you'd like to enumerate the many advantages achieved during the multi-billion, multi-decade "war-on-some-drugs" that has destroyed the nations of Mexico and Colombia, corrupted our police forces, given rise to the paramilitary character of law enforcement in our nation and has proceeded without any constitutional basis since the days of Nixon at least.
It would be better if humans used no recreational chemicals at all. I wish all people would make that choice. My only drug of choice is black coffee. I choose sanity over insanity whether chemically assisted or not. I am unwilling to continue to finance further futile attempts to protect fools from their folly; it's on them to be better people. That is a classical conservative position
The War-on-some-drugs is insanity. It has produced no measurable advantages unless you see the world through a fascist perspective and applaud the growth of government power, the destruction of the 4th amendment, and bankrolling of multi-national organized crime.
