"Getting stoned or intoxicated in private threatens few."

You cannot guarantee me that a stoned doper is going to stay indoors, no more than I can guarantee you that a speeder won't get into an accident. How can you make such a ridiculous statement?

Just like a DUI or speeder may injure himself or others, so may a person on drugs, indoors or out. Drug users overdose and die. Drug users rob and steal to feed their habit. Drug users are a drain on the medical system.

Now, maybe that's a small percentage of drug users. But it's only a small percentage of licensed and insured (by law) DUI and speeders that harm others.

You prove my point by ignoring it. Thanks for once again displaying your idiocy.

You can't guarantee me that a gun owner will keep his guns away from his children. Let's ban 'em.
