I don't agree. I don't even agree that it is not of God but #3fan has so twisted his logic that he can't possibly now say that a constitution which allows for blasphemy, adultry and abortion are "of God."

God said to allow people to believe as they wish.

Then again.....by his own logic God can't even be of God since it was he who created man and gave him the will to commit evil. He wants to make a distinction between alcohol and hard drugs where no real distinction exists.

Jesus' first miracle was to turn water into wine. Jesus wasn't a sorcerer.

Alcohol and every other drug is for the purpose of self-medication. Self-medication is an inherant right. Such cannot be converted to a crime just because a few busy-bodies think it's a good idea. Our freedom is more important than your good idea.

China is my proof of what happens when a country legalizes a hard drug. They became slaves to the British because of opium.

And you can show me where it says, "unless they believe that Pot doesn't harm their neighbors"

China is my proof of what happens when a country legalizes a hard drug.

And the US is my antithesis and just as valid a proof. The fact that China claims in public that it no longer has any drug abusers (now that it is a communist dictatorship) is not impressive in the slightest.

One could purchase heroin over the counter in 1900 in the US. It wasn't a big problem. It became so only after prohibition was enacted with heroin, cocaine and the like. The Pope used to drink an elixer containing Cocaine and swore by it. So did many Americans.

At any rate, this is a deflection on your part. Self-medication is an inherant right. You don't seem to want to disagree with that. Why not?
