[Reagan Man]

America's national drug control policy, has been a success and has led to an overall decrease, in illicit drug use in the last 20 years, by some 40%. Society has every right to determine what regulations and restrictions are required to reduce the sale and ingestion of harmful substances like cocaine, marijuana and heroin. The American people overwhelming support interdiction and incarceration as the main efforts, in fighting the spread of drug use/abuse.

Your statement can be applied to violence involving firearms during the same period. A reduction is not necessarily indicative of a causal relationship to increased enforcement.

[Senator Pardek]

Society has every right to determine what regulations and restrictions are required to reduce the sale and ingestion of harmful substances like cocaine, marijuana and heroin.

If society = the states, and said regulations and restrictions do not violate the Constitution, we are in concert.

"Society has every right ..."

Society has no rights, only individuals do. But don't feel alone, many Americans are confused with such thinking, thinking government has rights, or society has rights, or animals have rights.
