let people be completely free to f*ck over other people; the government is not allowed to step in.

Particularly, the part the repubs like, is let people form whatever groups they want (aka corporations), to exploit other people however they'd like, without any regulation from the government at all.

The anti drug war stance is just part of the anti government package.

He probably would even reduce regulations on pharmaceuticals, or OTC drugs at least, so you wouldn't even know for sure what you were getting.
