Shouldn't Repubs be for legalizing drugs?

[LostInAnomie]

Think about it. The republican party more than anything else is for the protection of those that oppress the masses.

A great deal of illegal drug users tend to be those who are looking for instant gratification to escape the stresses of their lives that are cause either indirectly or directly by the oppressors. Looking through history, revolutions come about when one class can no longer take the abuses of another, so wouldn't it make sense for the republicans to be for something to keep those whom they are oppressing from caring?

I know some argue that they are already for drugs by supporting drug companies that push anti-depressants, and boner pills, but those drugs cost mountains of money to develop. Why wouldn't the be for relatively cheap to produce, strong, and effective drugs like the ones sold on the street every day?

What do you think?

1. They like the way the system works for them now...

...they get profits while looking like they're against drug use.

2. No because this gives them a reason to throw them in jail.
