All the Anti-Nanny State conservatives will rise to tell us how the State should be the Nanny in the case of drugs.

Boy do I really agree with your comments. I've noticed some real inconsistencies with some who call themselves real conservatives and yet are completely in agreement with the insane war on drugs. They are so inconsistent that it isn't funny. They believe that if drugs were legal every other person would be a drug addict. I try to tell them that every other person isn't a alcoholic. They simple ignore that and say that if alcohol were invented today it should be illegal! Frightening that these people are walking around and calling themselves conservatives. These people give the conservative movement a bad rap.

It’s the difference between governmental conservatives and social morality conservatives. IMHO the two positions are mutually exclusive in some areas, such as this one.

But after having read the article, I have come to the conclusion that the author is himself partaking of that which he wishes to keep banned.
