"I agree that we should legalize and regulate marijuana for adults first, then see how it goes before talking concretely about legalizing other drugs."

So we should just talk in vague terms about legalizing meth and heroin until we get pot legalized? WTF? I'd rather just say concretely that those drugs are too addictive and cause too much harm to innocent third parties to be legal and regulated like alcohol. As far as I'm concerned there is no need to wait until we legalize marijuana before we say that.

If a constitutional argument can be made for the legalization of marijuana, then the same argument holds true for all drugs.

The end of Prohibition resulted in the legalization of all forms of alcohol, not just beer or wine.

Pretty funny. The ex-pot smoker argues constitutional law and the lawyer argues practicality.

You're certainly entitled to do so right now ... and I'm entitled to ask how drugs, rather than their users, harm innocent third parties. As it stands, "cause too much harm to innocent third parties" sounds like what gungrabbers say about guns.
