"Do you realize how easy it is to plant drugs on your property? A truly simple example would be to smash a car window or three, prompting you to call police to make a report for the insurance company. You'd be fixated on the missing stereo and not realize what was added to your vehicle (such as a bag of pot). Or, if you have real estate, how would you like to lose it on the basis of wild pot or somebody tossing a baggie into the house when you are away?
The concept of persecuting people for possession of anything (gold, anti-Soviet literature, drugs, alcohol, heretical artifacts) is the ease with which even those who support the measures can be framed. The Inquisition burned up a lot of good Catholics, and NKVD shot or starved more than a few staunch Communists. The US no-knockers have the ability to do much the same...and some are using that ability."
