"Your real issue appears to be 'If we don't control this behavior, then others may join in.'"

Close. My issue is that we be allowed to set standards for our community, provided the standards are constitutional.

"What we have now is a society where murderers, thieves and violent criminals are being prematurely released into society to make room for potheads (the majority of people processed and jailed)."

So the prison are full, no matter what? Then how is the WOD providing "job security for police and prison officials"? You're so flip about making these statements, you don't realize you're contradicting yourself.

"... the State of Nevada shows no more societal breakdown than any other State inspite of legal gambling and prostitution."

I would guess that the vast majority of the people who gamble and use prostitutes in Nevada come from out-of-state, wouldn't you? Now, why would you look at the state of Nevada itself to form a conclusion like that?

What's this "we" garbage? If "we" as individuals don't have the right to do what "we" want provided that no other individual is harmed, then there is no "we". And that is as Constitutional as it gets.
