Plus, and this is very important and gets to the heart of the matter, the drug legalization people don't really want the government to remove the heavy hand of coercion from their necks ~ nosirreebob ~ they want it lifted up and placed on the rest of us to keep us from protecting ourselves against them.

Can you please explain how you need protection from Rush Limbaugh, Brett Favre, Betty Ford and a host of other famous, productive addicts whose addiction often becomse a criminal matter?

At the moment, because of government control, you are protected from private individuals having to protect themselves.
