War on Drugs Fallacy

The war on drugs is of course a nonsense as you cannot have a war against inanimate objects but in so far as it means anything at all it is wrong because it is not the role of the State to police what people choose to ingest and the attempt is to do so is immoral,iliberal and of course vain as even the most ilibertarian authoritarian would baulk at the invasion of privacy that such a prohibition would entail. It is no accident that the most totalitarian countries practice drug control and execute drug traffickers.In a free society drugs would be available on the free market and that would include prescription drugs which at present are monopolised by the State via the NHS.So The Freedom Party would decriminalise all drugs.
