"I might be able to see the legalization of marijuana. I'd vigorously oppose cocaine and LSD."The author appears to be making an "all or nothing" argument. Which, if you think about it, is much more consistent than yours.

You act as if absolute consistency were somehow a greater virtue than common sense and applied science, which is, of course, nonsense.
To: robertpaulsen
Actually, I need to apologize to you. Your statement does not imply that you value or the other. Simply that one is more consistent than the other.
I simply question the validity of pure consistency here given the scientific data.

Sorry, we currently make distinctions between the legal drug beer, and the illegal drug marijuana.
