The war on drugs is a pretext for replacing loyalty to family and friends with loyalty to the Therapeutic State. For example, after listening to an anti-drug lecture, a junior high school student walks into the police station carrying a trash can bag containing an ounce of cocaine, small amounts of marijuana, and some pills. By sunrise, her father and mother are arrested and jailed. Then First Lady Nancy Reagan explained: "She must have loved her parents a great deal." A 12-year-old girl turns her parents in to the police for growing marijuana and using cocaine. Declares a spokesman for the police: "She did the right thing. We don't see this as turning in parents. We would rather view this as someone requesting help for their parents and for themselves." The media report all this as if it were as ordinary as a weather forecast for a sunny summer day.
Betraying one's parents was not enough. When he was the drug czar, William Bennett instructed high school students to tell on their friends "It isn't snitching or betrayal to tell an adult that a friend of yours is using drugs and needs help. It's an act of true loyalty -- of true friendship."
