If that means that I have to give up some of my liberty, I will be willing to do it.

If you could make that decision only for yourself, I would be fine with that. But you do not get to make that decision for me.

Since I have no power to create or enforce laws, my opinion counts for little; however, those that do have the power to make and enforce laws make decisions for all of us. If enough people share a certain view, such as the one that I hold, they can elect representatives to the legislature that can create laws that regulate the drug market. That is where we are today. Certain drugs are made illegal by the action of Congress. Whether you or I agree is irrelevant. There is never going to be a time in which certain drugs are going to be legalized.
