Drawn into what?

You seem a lot more lucid in this thread, BTW.

There are no ends that can possibly exist that justify anyone to initiate physical force.
How? By law enforcement. If criminals have issues with physical force, then they should not resist arrest.

If they really want to keep me from harming myself they should completely ban cars and other similar vehicles; I'm sure way more people kill themselves with cars than drugs. And I hate to even mention that since I know there are some far left nut-jobs that do want to ban cars....
Don't worry -- your government is actually why it's so very easy for the Mexican cartels to bring the most addictive substances into every middle school, every high school, every suburban neighborhood.

There is no war on drugs. There is an open border where tons of drugs are brought over every day. The cartels control vast and efficient networks throughout the USA where they quickly and easily get drugs from their border warehouses to every city and town and rural place throughout the whole USA. No real attempt is being made to stop this.

That's a drop in the bucket --- addiction rates of all kinds of drugs are soaring. They're having no trouble getting all kinds of drugs into even middle schools -- every city and town throughout the USA. Drugs are very easily and efficiently moved from Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo warehouses to every single American city and town and rural area --- tons of drugs every day.

I haven't read of any addicts facing shortages.

You said there is no effort being made to stop smuggling, and yet millions of pounds of drugs are being seized.
