> So how can you say that moral opposition to drug use exists because of propaganda,
Because most of the opponents of legalization use the same talking points that the DARE and other school drug-abstinence programs use. Gateway drugs, etc. All the things we now know are nonsense. That's what makes it propaganda instead of information.
If these people didn't come to these opinions because of propaganda they'd use different terminology and different arguments.
> Moral opposition to drug usage is based on the need to establish social norms that discourage escapism and dependency.
No, because TV(, etc) is acceptable. Drugs are a problem because of our puritanical background. The issue isn't that you aren't being productive, it's that you're enjoying it.
