Do you really consider the human desire for inebriation to be the underlying problem here? It seems to me that you're ignoring a few simple facts...
We an underlying and inevitable desire to experience the full spectrum of consciousness. This can also be seen in children and the animal kingdom if you look close enough. Ever wonder why children spin around in circles? Play the "choking game"? Hold their breath underwater? How about those lemurs that have an affinity for psychedelic sap? It seems that across-the-board, there's a definite natural desire for intoxication.
I'm here to argue that rather than the intoxicants being the real issue, the problem at-hand is actually the way our society educates the individual. We should be taught modesty, respect for ourselves, respect for others and to know the difference between mind-expansion and hedonism.
Your approach is... dangerous, to say the least. Many other nations and creeds have target "drug users" as "social parasites". All this does is breed hate and divide.
