Dear tpaine, how 'bout this one for a start? (Sorry I couldn't accept your invitation until tonight - no internet all day today, and now I have a cut finger so it's really hard to type.) According to the author, this is equivalent to Drug Warriors (notice the caps) assaulting..... what amendment is that again? You know, the one that says something about the right to keep and ingest drugs? Hmmmmm, can't find it anywhere.

Please expain in simple layman's language why drug use and traffic should not be regulated and/or outlawed.

I guess to be fair, I should outline my position, which is quite different than the established one. Actually I did post it on this thread earlier, but here are the essentials:

1.No selling of drugs, or, to be fair, liquor. Heavy punishment, should include public corporal punishment such as caning, since jail time is not a deterrant, is expensive, and public caning (for instance) is much more humane and rational.

2. People should be allowed to grow marijuana (and poppies for opium if they can or want to) and use it themselves freely. Also brew their own liquor freely and use it themselves.
