"Drug possession doesn't pose a threat to anyone nor does drug dealing or private drug use."

That's arguable, but let's skip it. Who says drug possession must pose a threat to others before it can be regulated? Not our constitution, that's for sure.

As a matter of fact, you can't name one society or one government throughout history that limited their laws only to behavior that posed a threat to others.

So, where did you get your "threat" standard? Just making it up?

I can give a long list of firsts that laws, business practices, scientific utilizations and societal changes have progressed from the non-existence of to existence of. Your argument or point or whatever your intention was is irrelevant. No surprise there.

Reason, logic and Thomas Jefferson. But you already know that as I have explained it to you before.

Thomas Jefferson wasn't perfect -- nobody is. But he was spot on target with this: "No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him." --Thomas Jefferson to Francis Gilmer, 1816.

Marijuana is a chemical warfare agent... it FEMINIZES men...

And since the 1960's, this is what the cultural Marxists are after...
