Sorry, it doesn't work that way. If you ingest something and become a public charge, the public is stuck with the bill of keeping you alive. Hence the public has a right to prevent you from doing things that will make you a public charge.

Then naturally, you approve of a Prohibition on Booze and Tobacco as well? Many more people die from booze and tobacco per year, and we lose a lot more in the way of time, money and resources per year dealing with the health and social effects of booze and tobacco than we do from illegal drugs, let alone pot.

So where you do draw the line on this Socialist "we must save society from itself!" thinking. I mean, are you going to tell us "it takes a village a raise a child"?

It takes a socialist village to raise a socialist village idiot.
