37. The Drug War, for example.

Prohibition accomplishes nothing. People have a fundamental right to do what they want with their bodies. People continue to do these kind of things because individual liberty trumps the interests of the State. Government has no business in personal affairs. They can regulate the substance, but I believe they have no right to outright ban it. Tax it, make it available at stores and be done with it. People will do what they want. It's their life. (Obviously, exemptions here would be explosives, tanks, etc. Anything that could inflict massive casualties, really.)
