But you also favor the legality of crystal meth and heroin. You cannot honestly say that you do not. And your logic is like the people who advocated for abortion to save the life of the mother. Once they got that, they went on to abortion up to the third trimester. Then, it was abortion on demand and the public pays for it. Similarly, you're using the legalization of cigarettes and alcohol to get pot legal and will support heroin in due time. So it's clear you are promoting vice. You're just using a Fabian Socialist approach.

The bible would have warned everybody that prohibiting “things” would never work and would have saved America from a grim adventure.

This is not the same thing as prohibiting “actions.”

And your promoting vice

That never happened ... unless you want to claim that everyone who supports the legality of alcohol and tobacco is thereby "promoting" them.

you're using the legalization of cigarettes and alcohol to get pot legal

No, I'm pointing out that your equating legalization with "promotion" applies just as well to already legal drugs as to currently illegal drugs. Do you claim that everyone who supports the legality of alcohol and tobacco is thereby "promoting" those substances?

and will support heroin in due time. So it's clear you are promoting vice.

Dragging in other illegal drugs doesn't help your argument - it remains true that if supporting legalization of a currently illegal drug is "promoting" it, then supporting continued legality of the currently legal drugs tobacco and alcohol is likewise "promoting" them.

Do you claim that everyone who supports the legality of alcohol and tobacco is thereby "promoting" those substances?
