You believe that an adult should be “free” to manufacture, distribute and ingest as much methamphetamine as they would wish. As long as they don’t “hurt” anyone else.

How long do you think it will be before that happens?

I would be careful who you start calling a fool.

What is your definition of the word, 'hurt'?

Has the government placed any limitations on manufacture or distribution done by Anheuser-Busch? Jim Beam? Jack Daniels? RJ Reynolds? Please point me to any laws that prohibit anyone from doing the exact same thing with alcohol or tobacco.

Do you need to government to pass laws to keep you from becoming a crack addict? If it were legal, would you be powerless to prevent yourself from buying and abusing it?

Or, are you only seeking to control another's behavior because of what you perceive to be a harm to society?

How long do you think it will be before that happens?

It doesn't matter how long. What matters is the consequences for their actions.

Let's replace the word, 'banana cream pie' for 'methamphetamine ' and see how silly your arguments really are.

I calls `em as I sees `em.
