By your logic modern conservatism must advocate for the restoration of prohibition. I deny you the power to so define conservatism.

LOL, no, you sound like my kid with that ridiculous prohibition argument.

The Middle East is cannabis based for thousands of years, they will be supporting the left and libertarians on the doper position as they keep immigrating here.

At least politicians realized the Constitutional limits placed on the federal government at one point in our history. They actually felt it necessary to pass the 18th Amendment to prohibit the sale of alcohol.

That day, when the Constitution was seen as a limiting power upon the federal government, is now, unfortunately, behind us and politicians can dictate what extra-Constitutional limits upon the freedoms of individuals they will.

“Social conservatives” fully support ignoring the Constitution when it suits their purpose, no different from Progressives. They also try to equate libertarians with the far left which shows an incredible lack of knowledge about either.
