“Irrelevant to a discussion of defining “really high” - unless you’re saying that defining “really high” was just a red herring on your part. “

No, it’s not irrelevant. Irrationality and rationality are on a continuum, just like adulthood and childhood. You need to draw a line somewhere, or nowhere. I pick “somewhere.”

As I said, we’d have to come to a consensus on what “really high” is, depending on the drug.

Fine - and then we’d have to apply the no-being-really-high rules consistently. Since there’s no evidence on the table for any no-being-really-high-on-alcohol rule inside private homes under any circumstances, there’s no basis for such a rule for any other drug. And of course no basis here for completely banning any of them.

Disagree, alcohol is normally used without negatively affecting a person’s rationality or long term mental stability.

Whether "alcohol is normally used without negatively affecting a person’s rationality or long term mental stability" is irrelevant to where the rationality line is drawn.
