You can attempt to pontificate around what I said all you want, but you can't get past the fact that recreational drug use is criminal and that promoting it and using are both complicit.

Attempts to sabotage the majority and the country itself by the anarchy of the few isn't a sacred thing, a minority view isn't always healthy.

CA Guy decrees:

Recreational drug use is criminal, so in my example you cannot say -- "not all sin is criminal and not all crimes are sins".

As we see, our Guy simply insists that he & society have the power to prohibit any 'sin' they decree to be criminal.

If a majority decides that smoking is 'criminal', by golly, so it is..

Get it through you head Guy. -- You majority rule prohibitionists are Constitutionally ~wrong~.
You have no delegated power to prohibit. [see the 10th] -- You never have had that power.
We the people allow reasonable regulations on life, liberty, or property to be written & enforced if they conform to constitutional due process. [see the 14th]

Get the principle yet? -- Will you ever?

You can attempt to pontificate around what I said all you want,

Issuing prohibitive decrees is pontificating.

but you can't get past the fact that recreational drug use is criminal and that promoting it and using are both complicit.

Yep, your declarations of criminality are infallible. -- We must obey.

Attempts to sabotage the majority and the country itself by the anarchy of the few isn't a sacred thing, a minority view isn't always healthy.

Chant that bit about 'anarchy'. -- Makes you sound like a spy vs spy character in Mad Magazine.
