The ENTIRE federal government is abusive. You people want to single out just those aspects that touch on drugs because your real agenda is to undermine the interdiction of drugs.
Actually not. I agree wholeheartedly with your first sentence. However, I call out Fedgov everywhere I see abuses, be it their snooping on us at every conceivable level, their abuse of environmental law, civil asset forfeiture, their constant attacks on the 2nd amendment, or any of the other endless overreaches of the Fedgov leviathan. The whole WOD thing comes up often because it is one of the most obvious and destructive of their efforts to subvert our Republic.
You only care about federal abuses which interfere with your weed smoking.
Yeah, noone against the WOD could ever be taking a principled stand against it. Only people with their mind addled with intoxicants could possibly be concerned about the abuses of our legal system employed on its behalf.
For the record, I don't do any drugs. I don't particularly like even taking aspirin. I drink the occasional quality beer, but not to the point that it will cause me to shoot at tax collectors - and miss.
You might want to rethink your notion that only druggies oppose the WOD. Some of us simply believe the "cure" is worse than the "disease".
If you do indeed focus on other federal abuses and not just those involving the drug issue, then it is my turn to apologize to you. Most of the message traffic I deal with regarding federal abuses are from Libertarians upset that the feds enforce drug laws.
I am against abuses by government. I am against no knock raids and i'm against asset forfeiture without trial.
But I think it is absolutely necessary that no nation allow drug addiction to flourish in their society. We have the historical example of what legalized drugs did to China, and I regard allowing drugs as a grave and dire threat to the existence of our nation.

Given that the "disease" would be following the path of China, I would have to ask how much worse could the "cure" be? Complete totalitarian government and the enslavement of the populace. Yeah, that's where the disease led. Will the "cure" get us there faster? Maybe, but it looks pretty obvious to me that the "disease" will get us there for sure.
