if the justification for the curtailment of freedom is 'the greater good', then this principal should be applied uniformly

so apply the same rules to all drugs
what's the big deal ?
tobacco, alcohol, pot, smack, pcp, go for 'em all
same rules, same penalties
until then understand that 'law and order' is a business, just like the government in Washington
what feeds this business ?
more laws, criminalizing more activity, necessitating more police, courts, prisons, and - of course - more lawyers

how about religion ?
superstition is the biggest killer, enslaver, and blight on mankind that has ever been known
ah yes, but then 'belief' would no longer be sufficient,
people would have to think for themselves;
unless they found a 'prophet' to speak for and guide them - and here we go again
