Maybe you're being sarcastic and I can't quite tell.. if not, can you
elaborate on that a little bit? How is the drug use of someone a threat to
someone else, in particular "the ruling class" (and can you outline who they
are).
If anyone, including members of the ruling class, face a legitimate threat
by someone else's drug use (which they don't), then the drug war *would* be
justified.
