I concede nothing of the sort. What I said was that there will always be troublemakers that cause problems for the rest of us non-trouble-making population. Just as there are those who insist on drinking & driving - there will always be those that don't act responsibly. For the most part, these people are either; rednecks, gang members or college-age party kids.

I REPEAT my question - what is the problem for those adults who drink/get high/whatever else - responsibly - & don't pose a danger to other people? You say if pot is legalized you know for a fact that twice as many teenagers will smoke it? Could you show me facts on that?

RP is just plain nosy. Always sticking his nose into other peoples' private lives.

"What I said was that there will always be troublemakers that cause problems for the rest of us ..."

You said, "If I want to come home from a long day's work & get drunk, high, eat candy - or just lay on the couch & watch TV - who's business is it to anyone else?" You implied that people come home, do drugs, and cause no problem for the rest of society, so why not legalize drugs.

Now you've changed the argument and acknowledge that people will not do drugs at home. You now ask why it is illegal for those who act responsibly.

The answer is that the U.S. Constitution does not allow for one set of laws for reponsible people and one set of laws for irresponsible people. Too bad the irresponsible drug users ruined it for you.

"You say if pot is legalized you know for a fact that twice as many teenagers will smoke it?"

I asked you what if. What is your answer to my question as asked?
