[Reagan Man]

A majority of Americans fully support the national drug control policy. They consider illicit drug use immoral behavior that undermines the social fabric of our great nation. Efforts to reduce illicit drug use through intervention and incareration, are equally worthy and just causes for our government to be involved in. And they are constitutional. The only thing I will denounce, are the dealers, dopers and drug kingpins, who continue to break the law and who must be removed from society, asap. You do the crime, you do the time. Lock them up and throw away the key!

In addition, those people who support legalization and who act as enablers to these low life scum drug dealers/users, should be ashamed of themselves. There is absolutely no redeeming social value in the use of these drugs. And the idea that these anti-drug efforts are really a war on the American people, is specious rhetoric and an utterly ridiculous contention to make.

Don't say you weren't informed. Take my advice and stop making a sad spectacle of yourself by crying about the problems that you've obviously helped create.

A majority of Americans fully support the national drug control policy.

And a majority of Americans fully support the recently passed Campaign Finance Reform legislation. A majority of Americans support the federal government violating their Constitutional rights in a large number of ways.

But this country, BY LAW, is not a democracy. It's supposed to be a constitutional republic.

And they are constitutional.

You keep writing this, but to my knowledge, you've NEVER explained why a Constitutional amendment was (or was not) required to prohibit alcohol manufacture and sale, but somehow was not required for drugs. The reason you can't explain it is because drug laws are NOT constitutional.

In addition, those people who support legalization and who act as enablers to these low life scum drug dealers/users, should be ashamed of themselves.

No, U.S. citizens who support the federal government violating The Law (the Constitution) should be ashamed of themselves. But none of them are.

There is absolutely no redeeming social value in the use of these drugs.

Many DOCTORS (people with actual medical degrees) advocate use of marijuana in specific situations (to avoid nausea from chemotherapy, for example). In fact, people who oppose allowing sick people to get whatever medicines their doctors think are appropriate should ALSO be ashamed of themselves. But none of them are either.
