Private Property = Drugs
Government taking property -> Bad
That's how we got where we are

Someone has to protect liberty, if they don't have parents with those heavy machine guns then most likely they should. Plus its not as if it matters to you, you can just sit back and let everything sort itself out

Need? Absolutely not.
Want? Hardly.

Anarchy is only chaotic in the minds of those who define order as government.

Don't back-peddle on my account

The government should never be able to take your property unless you freely give it, that includes drugs

We restrict the freedom of many due to the stupidity of the few, GREAT IDEA!
And here simple little me thought that collective punishment was a human rights violation

People have choices to make in life, if they chose the wrong ones they should have to live with the consequences of their own actions. If they want to become junkies that's their initial choice to do the drug, and its their choice not to seek help for their problem. You cannot punish the whole of society for that, nor should you even have the authority to do so.

Which is why they have their family and their friend to help ensure that they don't get on drugs, or to help them get off if they get in too deep into drugs

Yet countries with little to no drug control have the smallest drug related crimes. The second you take out the prohibitive appeal of drugs people seem to lose interest in doing them

If your family cannot control your actions, and they lie and steal from you then what are the chances that the government, which is an impersonal entity, will have better chances?
You lost the war on drugs and hurt your people because of it, while most of the rest of the world stop treating it like a major problem and won

Hmmm... How about the people who are actually doing the drugs take person responsibility for their actions? Huh? Oh, yes, I forgot... Americans... A scapegoat is always needed. Let's blame the dealers, or the drugs themselves for our problems. Let's blame firearms or the manufactures, because hey, those substances and bullets simply force their way into your body with magic, don't they? No human aid, what so ever.

The simple fact of the matter is that these problems are solely the fault of the ones taking the drugs. If they had any intelligence, or will power, they would either be able to control themselves or would not have begun in the first place. Such people are pitiful specimens of the human race with or without questionable substances, and the fact that they die is merely a small piece of natural selection that is still intact in this horrid civilization. If we were not all raised to be stupid is this cultureless society, such laws would not have to be in place to "protect" us.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."  
Benjamin Franklin

Punishing the whole for the mistakes of the few is never the answer. Its amazing how you can fear drug addicts but not fear the state in taking away your life or your liberty. As Phoenix so facetiously pointed out, drug addicts are considerably less organized therefore less of a threat.

If you have a problem with who they take with them before they die then improve the living conditions in your country so no one wants to use drugs as a form of escapism. Putting these people (yes, drug addicts are people) into holding cells for the rest of their lives and branding them as criminals only adds to the problem, it doesn't solve it. In that regard I totally agree with dev/null.

We live in a society that creates needs, creates needs for consumer goods, creates needs to a ton of shit we don't need and degrades people for not fulfilling those artificial needs. You are not a human being unless you need a job, you need a house, you need a 300 horsepower car, you need a girlfriend with big titties, you need massive electric sexual devices and an assortment of other crap that is of absolutely no use to you. Are we overly surprised that people want to escape this with drugs and alcohol?
