Nor should the responsible cocaine user, who only does lines on the weekend without letting it get in the way of work, be penalized.

Hey, you and the Feds are on the same page. From the New York Post:

FEDS TURN UP THEIR NOSES AT WHITE-COLLAR COKEHEADS

Hundreds of yuppie cokeheads snared by a sting - including doctors, lawyers and professors - are getting off because prosecutors say they're "genteel users" who can manage their habits, sources told The Post. "The attitude seems to be, these are not snot-dripping junkies on someone's doorstep, these people are more acceptable, so [federal prosecutors] are uncomfortable locking them up," said a source familiar with the decision.

Law-enforcement sources say U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White has chosen not to prosecute any of the white-collar powder purchasers caught in a massive home-delivery cocaine sting nearly a year ago. Sources have estimated the number of buyers between several hundred and 2,000-plus.

"Legalize it and tax it sky high", then watch as people flock to the black market (as they're doing now with cigarettes -- taxed at 33%) to purchase it.

Oops, right back to where we started.
