Shouldn't parents be the ones to protect their children from the dangers of heroin, rather than an over-reaching state?

Do you really believe parents can realistically protect their wards from getting hooked to any harmful, addictive drugs? How will they ever know if their kids are experimenting with these drugs? The problem is that the drugs are addictive - all it it needs is for someone to try it a few times to get completely hooked to it. And you don't realise it until it is too late.

Funny example, because many argue that stopping the war on drugs would solve a lot of problems.
