"Exactly my point. You like socialism? Fine. Not me"

Sorry, straw man arguments are not allowed. As long as some number of fools have decided that socialism is the best way to run indigent care and my vote and yours do not amount to enough to stop it, we are stuck with it. The use of marijuana, while unlikely to lead to the need for long term care, is no different from the effects that might be linked to alcohol, dangerous sports, tobacco etc. Your argument is not specific to the topic. I see no need for us to debate socialism since I gather we are of like mind on that subject

I see. In for a penny, in for a pound, eh?

That is, if we support all these other activities with our tax dollars, and they're legal, and we're stuck with them, well, we might just as well legalize marijuana and add it to the rest.

The way I read it, that's basically your point.

Guess if I agree with you.
