There's a second group? ;)

I fall into the category that's open for discussion of the issue as a non-constitutional question. I don't think that all behavior such as polygamy, drug use, and non-murderous cannibalism are constitutionally protected. Thus, I think there is a discussion to be had beyond, "I'm being repressed."

The constitutional part of my original reply was based on drug testing being advocated and my objection based on the Fourth Amendment, which it clearly violates.

On the larger issue, my problem with the drug war is that the cure has been worse than the disease, and no other regulation of vices has spawned the militarization of the police, no-knock searches, widespread abuse of asset forfeiture, corruption of our police, judges, politicians, and erosion of our Fourth Amendment rights. Drugs are truly the gateway issue the government is using to trash the Constitution.

And especially with pot, it is rather hypocritical to leave it illegal when alcohol is not. It really makes no sense from a rational perspective.
