[Hemingway's Ghost]

So you don't think drug usage has any effect on the direction the country takes politically or morally?

Nope. America seemed to be doing just fine before the War on Drugs began, and it'll probably do just fine after it finally ends.

I think the War on Drugs most definitely has an effect on the direction the country takes politically and morally. It makes the country turn more socialist and statist, and it makes the country turn more and more amoral (crooked cops, crooked politicians, erosion of basic human rights, etc.).

I was asking whether you thought that legal usage of hard narcotics in general had any bearing on a nation politically and morally.
