[Between the Lines]

It is almost a tacit admission that, if something IS bad for you, it should be banned.

Do you wish to also prohibit alcohol, tobacco and fatty foods? Your name should be... Well Entrenched Behind Liberal Lines.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

You are missing the point.

I am arguing (see earlier post) that, by employing the arguments they do, the pro pot FREEPERS are discarding or undermining the very philosophical underpinning ("freedom of choice") that we value here. Once they start doing that for pot, they open the door to having that done for the very substances you mention.

The liberals WANT us to start arguing on the basis of good for you/bad for you instead of freedom. THe pot people have already taken the bait.
