They believe in putting people in jail for private behavior to protect 'society'. Hardly a conservitive position.

Quite right. That is not a conservative position.

That is not where the conflict occurs. It is a dispute about whether it is "private behavior".

A guy smokes a bowl in his living room---how is that not private behavior?

It is private behavior.

Then where is the non-private behavior basis for opposing drug relegalization?
