So government has to DO something. Only the State can save us. And that is how we end up in a statist nightmare.
The state should be there to protect Life, both born and unborn, protect us from enemies foreign and domestic which would include Drugs like heroin, meth, marijuana and high powered LSD.
Giving up on the War on Drugs would be no different than it we had given up on the war on communism.
We must protect our country from invasion, whether to be an army of communist or bales of drugs coming in from Mexico.
