With cocaine, they don't really give it to you. They pretend to sell it. And cocaine hurts no one. There is no victim. This is the government actually causing harm to children.
But the comparison would be the FDA/ATF/Drug Enforcement seizing drugs at the border, and then turning around and selling it themselves.
It's the act of seizure and not destroying / removing access that has me upset.
This is what the CIA did in the 80's. They literally seized drugs from Mexican and Central American cartels and then sold it in US inner cities lower then what their competitors could. It funded a lot of the operations that the government couldn't/wouldn't fund.
There is speculation that the current opiate epidemic may be the result of the same type of program.
