So, let's see... You want them to define for you, according to THEIR determinations, what substances you will be permitted to consume... and to break down your door and put a gun to your head if you violate THEIR decision?? You're lying. You don't want that at all.

Yes, I'm willing to live under the same laws as the ones I vote for.

You KNOW that such behavior is a Violation of the Golden Rule.

I would hope that there would be something to stop me from being a toothless drug addict.

What about Christian Scientists, who don't believe that ANY sort of conventional medicines should be used? Should they do to you that which you want to do to others??

Through the law, yes. I choose to live in a constitutional republic. It guarantees that I can live around people who believe as I what's good for society. That's why I'm a strong believer in state's rights.

I choose to live in a constitutional republic.

You have already admitted that you have absolutely no idea where authority comes from in a constitutional republic. Thus you have now been proven a liar. You didn't chose to live in a constitutional republic. You were born here and you are under the delusion that you had something to do with the drug laws even if indirectly by voting for a congressman who supported them.

You have had absolutely no affect on the drug laws. You didn't "chose them" nor did those who disagree with them have any affect on their passage. The laws violate the constitution on several levels. But you wouldn't know that because you can't be bothered to even know what your own constitution says. I bet you also call yourself a "patriotic" American.

So, in other words, if a bunch of Christian Scientists outlawed the use of conventional medicine, you consider that a legitimate application of the Golden Rule??
If a bunch of Muslims outlawed the use of beer, you consider that a legitimate application of the Golden Rule??
If a bunch of Old-school Mormons outlawed the use of caffeine, you consider that a legitimate application of the Golden Rule??

Eee-gads. Talk about turning the words of Jesus upside-down.

Your "golden rule" amounts to an immoral authorization for anybody to impose their own commandments on anyone else as long as they use the Force of Law to do it.

Your prohibitionism has led you into outright blasphemy.

You believe that "states rights" gives a majority group of Christian Scientists the power to make 'law' prohibiting ALL 'drugs' in their community?
You don't think these 'laws' would violate the rights of their non scientist neighbors?
