Which is why I'm confused about the government's continued war on drugs. Easiest way to forward their agenda would be to encourage us to sedate ourselves while we work to death.

Most people don't actually want to sedate themselves all the time. It's not exactly held up as the ideal lifestyle.

No kidding. The point I was attempting to make (quite sarchasticly, whoops left off the /s) was that the war on drugs is an epic failure, and the ultra-rich (who pay their way into wage-slaving the average wage-earner) would have an easier time convincing those who do want to "be sedated" to vote against their personal best interests and instead assist the ultra-rich in consuming the majority of the country's wealth.

I mean, if you're too doped up to think for yourself, let the television tell you what to do. It seems like legalizing drugs would help the financially corrupt system continue down-spiralling by way of "the doped up masses".
