Colbert Report takes on border patrol

You may remember the case of Andrew Feldmar, the Canadian psychotherapist who was denied entry to the United States due to the fact that he had taken LSD - back when it was legal - and then had the audacity to write about it. Well, recently the Colbert Report got hold of the story, providing a much more entertaining (if no less infuriating) introduction to the situation:

Very hilarious indeed, I laughed several times over it. However, the story is in fact not funny at all, it's a very disturbing story. "Drug" use is construed as a crime as evil as murder ("moral turpitude") - I remember a phrase artist David Normal wrote in an e-mail to me: "In America, LSD continues to be more illegal than murder". Under such circumstances, what does "democracy" mean? How comes we are living in countries that are democratic in most areas - and in practice TOTALITARIAN when it comes to the topic of "drug use"? I believe I know something about non-democratic systems, I have been born in a totalitarian country myself and it almost scares me that hardly anyone notices that in this particular sphere we have given up all democratic rules. The UN treaties explicitly forbid drug legalisation - the only way towards it would be a unilateral renouncement of the treaties. How comes a president of a country can't say: I'M NOT A MASTER OVER MY CITIZENS' BRAINS? It's a WAR ON CONSCIOUSNESS and hardly anyone notices it, everyone thinks it's only a matter of some degenerated people who don't deserve any right to privacy. I know I'm writing things that are simply known - at least in "this milieu", but the whole war on consciousness is just frightening, it's being decided whether we BELONG TO OURSELVES.
