The Republican Case for Drugs

The fruit loop marijuana legalization people are always chanting about how you can't outlaw nature, well unfortunately I agree with those dreadlocked paint huffing ideologues. As a conservative I support the American farmer, and I support said farmers efforts to grow whatever they want free of socialist "subsidies" and what essentially amounts to state-ownership of private property through laws against what they can and can not do with their property, like say laws prohibiting the planting and cultivation of cannabis, opium, and coca, I suppose the government can regulate what goes into the markets if the product is enough of a danger, I don't support that but plenty of people do, so we'll operate under that scenario. Now this land owner has grown opium or coca, and of course any fool with a chemistry kit can then easily make heroin or cocaine depending on which they grew, well I'd argue that the governments power to regulate a persons behavior and/or consumption ends at their property line and if they take one step over that it would be in my mind at least typical socialist aggression towards an individual with the intent of trying to mold them out of an individualist state (that makes me sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist I know and I'm sorry).
