One of the most ridiculously stupid things I've ever read on FR.

Maybe we should just outlaw plastic bags too based on the author's logic? What's sad is that some liberal communities have actually tried to do that - See this article. This is the kind of thing that sells with both Chicago leftists, and so-called conservative drug warriors. Not much difference when you peel the onion, is there?

The problem with conservative “drug warriors” is that they don’t have a problem with expanding the size and scope of the Government, particularly at the Federal level, except when that same Government is turned around and used on them.

The correct solution to America’s social ills is to rebuild the Churches and other social institutions (e.g., schools) that can address the problem of improper drug consumption. Unfortunately, most of these social institutions are held in a vice grip by, you guessed it, the Government.

conservative drug warriors.

No true conservative would ever support the war on drugs ...

Unfortunately many on this site claiming to be "perfect conservatives" are full of themselves ... especially lately ...

I have posted many times that Antonin Scalia is a hard-core New Deal justice on the Commerce Clause whenever drugs are the issue because that is the conclusion he wants but everyone is terrified of a constitutional amendment to support it even though the practical result is the same. Counterintuitively, pernicious drug laws have been more persistent than the Prohibition Amendment was precisely because their general applicability in promoting a multitude of pet causes has been found more self-serving that a specific Amendment was.
