“At the heart of the decades-long war on drugs is the notion that the federal government is people’s daddy. One of the purposes of a daddy is to keep his children from doing bad things. One of the most important parts of being a daddy is to prevent children from doing bad things to themselves, such as putting the wrong things into their mouths. That’s what the drug war is all about it — keeping adult-children from putting bad things into their mouths and punishing them when they do. But adult-children are different from children. Adults are adults. Nonetheless, the drug war converts them into adult-children.” (04/23/24)
