Yet you seek to make law abiding citizen out of criminals...

Sorry, don’t think you are arguing out of anything but justification. You know full well that legalizing drugs in Denmark was a disaster of monumental proportions, and helping people kill themselves might work for Dr Kevorkian, but not for society as a whole.

Addiction is a horrendous drain on society as we burden the hard working yet again to clean up the mess on isle nine...

If you can argue to such duplicitous levels it is obvious you are part of the problem, not seeking answers.

I guess others will just have to bear the burden of your sin...

Again, Denmark has never legalized pot. It's clear you didn't read the article I linked or even do a modicum of research before posting, yet again, this falsehood.

Pot is not legal in Denmark and it never was. You can keep posting this, but it doesn't make it true.

The same justification that alcohol was bad for society was used for Prohibition. And, prohibition was repealed because it was a disastrous public policy that did more harm than good. All it accomplished was to give rise to organized crime, make criminals out of otherwise law-abiding citizens and expand the power and reach of the federal government.

Interestingly, possession and consumption of alcohol was still legal during prohibition. Prohibition only banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of alcohol.

Tell me this. Should we ban alcohol again? If not, why not?

Ah, I see now. In your mind we should ban all recreational use of drugs because someone might become addicted and become a drain on society.

How about drinking? Should that be outlawed, too? Smoking?

Was alcohol prohibition a good thing or a bad one?

Your answer is to ban anything and everything because you know what's best for everyone.

I guess others will just have to bear the burden of your sin...

There's no one more self-righteous than a reformed "whatever", be it smoker, drinker or doper.
