Thanks for your reply.
Something puzzles me tho.

How can you disagree with but still 'respect' an opinion that allows our government to infringe upon our basic rights to life, liberty or property, without using due process?

I said that if one believes the use/abuse of drugs in and of itself infringes on another’s inalienable rights I could understand why such a person would want the gov’t to step in and prohibit that use/abuse. The law should exist to protect our inalienable rights. I reckon I shoulda said something like “ I respect how such an argument can be made, but I don’t reckon that I agree that drug use/abuse violates anyone’s inalienable rights, so I think you are wrong in wanting gubberment to interfere.”
