There is no corporation anywhere who can make you buy/do anything 
without your say so(or government's assistance).  If any does you should 
call the police.

Government on the other hand has the legal right to take your property, 
lock you up, and make you purchase goods and services from specific 
entities.  When you have them authority over something they keep it with 
a deathgrip.

Drugs are actually a much thornier issue.

99.9% of the problem most people have with drugs are kids- which 
ironically is a problem because they are government enforced 
monopoly(yes there are private schools, but you still have to pay for 
the public ones even if you don't have kids).
