Wrong - past-month use of any illicit drug was 9.2% in 2012. Now if we subtract pot we arrive at 1.9% ... but pot is exactly the subject of this thread.

How about you and your deliberately deceitful @$$ stop beating around the bush? You are in fact, *IN FAVOR* of legalizing all drugs. Your own position proves my very point, that the argument for legalizing marijuana is in fact an argument for legalizing the whole thing.

You want to marry Alcohol and Pot as one, but you constantly argue that Marijuana and Other illicit drugs are two completely different things. Hypocrite much?

Just to let everyone on this thread know and understand, this guy "ConservingFreedom" is in fact in favor of legalizing any and all drugs.

No, it proves that ONE argument for legalizing marijuana is in fact an argument for legalizing the whole thing. A logically independent argument for legalizing marijuana that is NOT an argument for legalizing the whole thing is, as I said: If substance bans are to be based on the harms of the substances themselves, pot is by almost any measure less harmful than the legal drug alcohol - whose legality hasn't prevented us from thriving (although big government often has).

You want to marry Alcohol and Pot as one,

Opposite - I note that the latter is by almost any measure less harmful than the former ... from which difference I conclude that if substance bans are to be based on the harms of the substances themselves, the current legal situation is out of whack.

but you constantly argue that Marijuana and Other illicit drugs are two completely different things.

I don't know where I said "completely" - they're quite different, just as marijuana and alcohol are different.
