Just admit it, Presidio - you long for the days of alcohol prohibition. It's okay, we're all friends here.

Nope. Not at all. I just enjoy hearing you guys try to explain how alcohol is so bad, but legalizing drugs will solve that problem. Don't you see what a loser that arguement is?

Well, it seems clear that presidio will just continue to say that the alcohol argument is "ridiculous." I'm not sure why he takes that position, except for the "just because one thing is legal doesn't mean another should be" spiel. And, ya know, I must say I don't entirely disagree with that. I will say, though, that the reasons for making a substance illegal should apply equally to other substances, i.e. our reasons for outlawing substances should be consistently applied. Without reference to the alcohol argument, I've given him a fine opportunity to respond to that issue without having to get into the alcohol v. pot argument. We can talk about other substances, the theory behind prohibition, whatever. But I won't hold my breath waiting for a response.
