Promotion of personal use/abuse is not political advocacy, and I've never seen him urge anyone to do drugs.
No, neither have I. Plus he has denied ever doing that. But.
He did draw one important distinction -- he thought drugs should be legal for adults. If one is merely arguing for legalization, not usage, why draw a distinction? There were no age limit laws against drugs before.
Unless. Unless one is aware that promoting drug legalization today "gives the green light" to drug usage. Then one would advocate "adults only".
I am not saying that MrLeRoy was promoting drugs. If this were the year 1800, I would say it's ludicrous.
But this is the year 2003 where the definition of "legal" is synonymous with "acceptable".
