It seems to me that the 'war on drugs' was started as a result of sour grapes.
"I'm not young any more, and I've never taken drugs, because they were'nt around when I was young. Why should these young people enjoy themselves when I won't" or whatever.
Furthemore, I wonder how many people would voice the opinion that they don't care if heroin users die, 'because they're all useless dole scum / criminal scum'

On the other hand, drugs are bad, m'kay.
