So the "conservative" answer is to make MORE such drugs available, that will make society safer and people more productive?

No, the conservative answer = small government. Period. I'm sorry you don't get that.

Advocating for Government to punish and imprison people for what they do to their own bodies is "it takes a village" rubbish.

It is not what they do to their own bodies that is an issue...

Their rights end where mine begin. A corner stone of how our systems works.

Your drug use inspires my kid to do something stupid, that effects me. Your show up at my business as an employee stoned, screw up and injure yourself or another co worker or a customer, that effects me.

That is the responsibility thing that separates you libertarians from Conservatives. Why great Conservative leaders never ran as libertarians. There is a point where rights intersect in a community and society. Every man has a right to do as he pleases as long as its effects do not impact anyone beyond his island. However no man is an island completely unto himself is he?
