Can you rebut anything I've posted, or will you just be dishonestly putting words like the above in my mouth?

Don't know what you are talking about. That is exactly how you look and sound to me.

But the words you dishonestly put in my mouth are not garbage?

I didn't put them there. You spoke them. I just reduced them to their simple essence; the whining of a little brat who is upset cause alcoholics get away with it and weed smokers don't.

Not a D@mn thing you said explains why we should want more bad behavior than what we already have to put up with.

No, you missed my point; please refrain from attributing to me any further simpleminded "reductions" of my words.

Wrong - we should cease our costly and counterproductive efforts against that "bad behavior" for the following reasons I've posted in this thread:

"Legalization for adults IS the most effective way to reduce access to marijuana by young people, through harnessing the power of the market: young people report that they can currently get illegal-for-all pot more easily than legal-for-adults beer or cigarettes."

"The less the cost, the less the stealing. How many boozers steal, rather than panhandle or collect cans, to feed their addiction?"

[In response to: "It is a false hope that the cartels will just lay down and give up their business because we legalize it. They will just move into domestic production and muscle in on the “legit” growers/suppliers."] "Like the mob remained a major player in the post-Prohibition alcohol trade? ROTFL!"

"Regulating for purity and age restrictions is an infinitely better use of taxpayer dollars than imprisoning users of alcohol, tobacco, or pot."

"If they're [law enforcement] re-tasked to fighting real crimes with actual victims, that's a win."
