How did you expect your belief in that first sentence to be clear when this is the first time you've said it? [TEXT OMITTED: A number of FR Drug Warriors make statements about a new government bureaucracy even though they oppose even a lightly-(or un-)regulated legalization.]

Because that wasn't the main point (as I said)... it was "...I believe this is yet another attempt to propose government control and additional taxation."

And as I said (and you omitted) you left your position easily mistakable for the common FR Drug Warrior smokescreen about a new government bureaucracy even though they oppose even a lightly-(or un-)regulated legalization.

Now all that said: you want to know if I would legalize marijuana or drugs in general (even though I'm trying to stay on topic that this is all really about another Democrat control tactic). I'll answer: No. The reason for this position has nothing to do with personal liberty

Shouldn't personal liberty be a significant consideration for any conservative?

(for if that was the only consideration, I wouldn't care). I do believe that it leads to damage for not only the users,

So do alcohol, tobacco, and Big Gulps - do you favor banning those?

but to their families and others not even connected with their proclivities.

What sort of "damage"? Anything that's the proper business of government?
