Now you've changed the argument and acknowledge that people will not do drugs at home.

Are you high on drugs or something? What part of my replies said that people will not do drugs at home?

I have acknowledged that there will always be people that don't 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.

Then I guess by your own argument - you believe that alcohol should be illegal too - since there are plenty of irresponsible drinkers that ruin it for responsible ones?

OK. My bad. I just assumed that those who were acting responsibly did drugs at home and those who were acting irresponsibly were those who did not do drugs at home.

Now, your argument is that you want to legalize drugs for those who act responsibly. Cool. I see your point. How do we constitutionally legalize drugs only for this group of people? I'm open to suggestion.

We tried that once. Prohibition lasted 13 short years and was repealed. I see no reason to try it again. I also see no reason to add to the problem by legalizing yet another recreational drug.

Got an answer to my question yet? I've been answering yours. Will you return the courtesy?
