You want those two drugs regulated, go for it

No. What I would like is some consistancy from the legislature, but I'm not holding my breath. I don't have time to begin trying to change the law. But that brings us back to original article (wow hard to believe) That there are groups out there petitioning Congress and circulating petitions. Someday maybe these inconsistant applications of the law will be rectified through their efforts in the proper way. Would you be OK with that or do prefer the selective efforcement we have now?

I don't see it as an inconsistency. Unlike you, I don't see it as "since drug A is legal then drug B must also be legal"

We have a system whereby some drugs are legal for everyone, some are legal for adults only, some are legal only with a prescription, and some are illegal.

If a case can be made for moving a drug from one category to another, that can be done, and is done all the time. Drugs, for example, move from prescription status to over-the-counter quite frequently.

You do favor all drugs being legal, don't you? Including prescription drugs? Not just marijuana, correct? And to all ages, or would you arbitrarily pick a number and make that a minimum age? Could you then explain and defend your choice of that age?
