What I am saying is that I respect a persons position if they are not hypocritical by saying that cannabis should be illegal but alcohol should not.

This is not my opinion but I respect it more than someone who says cannabis is harmful and should be illegal while ignoring the effects of alcohol and tobacco.

Do you support total prohibition or just prohibtion of things that are stigmatised?

I understand. But aren't you being hypocritical when you say, "Hard drugs should be illegal but cannabis should not"?

I support a system whereby some drugs are legal, some are legal for adults only, some are legal only by prescription, and some are illegal.

I am not comfortable with your simplistic "all or nothing" approach to drug legalization.
