"pro-drug crowd"

AKA "limited government intervention and freedom club"

Nope first is accurate. In the 60's and 70's the libertarians advocated legalizing drugs with the caveat that intoxicant use is never a mitigating factor for the defendant in legal or civil cases. In fact recreational drug use proves intent since users intentionally impair their own judgment.

Advocating legalized drug use without underscoring this responsibility for users as part of the package is indeed "pro-drug crowd". Feel free to try to debate this point by point.

Who so advocates? I'm all in favor of legalization, and of barring intoxicant use as a mitigating factor.

Thats just sillyness. Alcohol is legal, and is concidered a mitigating factor for the defendant in legal and civil cases. I am certainly more informed and thoughtfull than a bunch of hippies.
