fatty food is bad for you too, sugar is a killer, caffeine dido and there is mercury in fish dont ya know. No one should be allowed to ride a bike without a helmet, dont forget to always walk with the traffic and only cross at the light. Oh do not even think about trying that black slope when all you have is a federally issued green slope license.
Because we regulate dangerous addictive drugs that not only kill the body, but destroy families and institutions, that does not mean we need to regulate everything. Your comparisons are as ludicrous as comparing pop-tarts to hand grenades in terms of danger to life and limb and show that you have no sense of discernment. There is a role for government, though considerably rolled back from where we are now. Conservatives are not anarchists.
Idiotic arguments like this are why I have no truck with libertarians.

Except when we don't - as in the case of alcohol. We were wise enough to see that prohibiting that drug did little good and much harm, and we should be similarly wise with regard to other drugs.
