But yeah the anti-drug movement in the US got started with the same temperence societies that the anti-alcohol movement did. However, race was a big factor. They did not want "foreign" drugs influencing their children, and they particularly did not want teenage girls to fall under the influence of "foreign" drug lords.
Thanks to having US History class with an ex-hippie, we learned these things in school!

It makes sense, personally I would prefer to make everything legal so that the government could tax it. To collect any kind of government assistance, however, you would be subject to random drug screening when you went to pick up your check. If somebody is able to use drugs and still be a productive member of society then there really isn't a problem with it.
