Let his son get arrested and do some time, and Oz will change his tune. (And coffee leads to crystal meth? That's priceless.)

[B Knotts]

He wants to ban coffee?!?

What a nut.

Jack Osbourne in prison. There's a really really really sad image.

They'd pass him around like currency, while Ozzy incoherently cheered the wisdom of the laws that put him there.

[toothless]

Jack wouldn't do time, hes famous.

[journey7873]

This is going to stir the Free Republic potheads up.

[Wolfie]

Kind of convenient, isn't it?

[CWOJackson]

What will Jim Morrison say?

[mvpel]

So right.

And besides, if someone wants to bake his brain, why should we stop him? The only credible arguments against that are rooted in socialized medicine.

[Wolfie]

The mantra of the typical well-off parent is that their kid has a "problem" and needs treatment. Undoubtedly, the kid will go on the "rehab track" instead of the "punishment track". Makes it easier for the parent to go on espousing the virtues of the Drug War, since their children will never have to suffer the consequences.

"This thread will soon be full of...."

Ozzy was an idiot 20 years ago, and he's an idiot today.

Odd; to so readily join company with the likes of this moron, yet anxious to berate fellow conservatives.

[KEVLAR]

As usual no mention of Libertarians in the article. What is with you people.

[William Terrell]

Good point.

[toothless]

No drug warrior is a real conservitive, they are socialists. They believe in putting people in jail for private behavior to protect 'society'. Hardly a conservitive position.

[Question_Assumptions]

Now, if they can only get him off the faux-Satanism and into Church like Alice Cooper...

[nothingnew]

Jack also said that he was drinking and using a variety of substances — including Vicodin, Valium, Xanax, Dilaudid, Lorcet, Lortab, Percocet and marijuana...

WHOA!!!!...sounds like some of my earlier years...only things missing are acid and peyote.....I can still type though.

How about that? Only six posts before we saw yet another content-free WOD crowd gratuitously insulting Libertarians. Your cogent and penetrating arguments against intoxicants are truely awe-inspiring.

Are your jack-boots feeling especially tight tonday?

[Pahuanui]

Most of the people in prison for drug offenses are not the users, but the dealers, who are often involved in other criminal activities.

Please supply evidence to support your claim.

[TBall]

Is it a rule that conservative pot smokers have to be Libertarian? Can't they vote for W?
