So is a mild to moderate pro recreational drug person

I know of no pro-drug people on FR. I know only pro-freedom people who don't see legalization as "heaven on earth" but do approve of it, because it would end the enriching of criminals and give drug sellers new economic incentive to not sell to minors.

Your version of pro freedom based on your average of 490 posts out of 500 being on drug threads could suggest that drugs = freedom in your eyes.

Do you consider drugs freedom?

Eloquently stated!

End of problem!

"and give drug sellers new economic incentive to not sell to minors."

In theory.

In practice it don't work that way. Teens use hard-to get regulated alcohol 2:1 over illegal, unregulated, and easy-to-get marijuana.

Well, legalization simply changes the name from "drug dealer" to "businessman", doesn't it? Enriching Joe Blow the drug dealer, bad. Enriching Joe Blow the businessman, good. Is that what you're saying?

And we, as a society, are better off how because of that name change?
