The government checks or disallows many things, i.e. drugs.

Individualism is strong in the US, but if parents sucks kids suffer.

The disallowing of drugs has not fared any better than disallowing alcohol did.

Yes, the war on drugs has been really successful. I certainly want governments doing more of that!

Libertarians hate to hear this but the government actually regulate lots of things, not just drugs. Many of these regulations are very successful.

There's a difference between regulating and banning, or outright fighting a "war" on something. The latter causing far worse societal problems.
