“Some of the illegal drugs are illegal because one trip, your first trip, just might be your last. Or it might leave you emotionally or psychologically crippled for the rest of your life.”

I know of people who had this same issue with alcohol. Should we outlaw it?

I know of MANY more who had this issue with a car! Should we outlaw those?

You definitely hear about these same issues involving GUNS - and there are MANY out there that want to outlaw them - do you think that is a good idea?

Your argument is that some people will get hurt - well unfortunately that is a possibility in a free society. Some people will loose all their money investing in a company - should we outlaw such recklessness?

You want to punish someone for something that has yet to happen.

Sell guns to a minor ... illegal
Sell alcohol to a minor .... illegal
We license drivers

I’m not concerned about a person hurting themselves. I’m concerned about a person hurting others... namely me and my family.

Well, yeah.

And so do you. Unless you think we ought to take laws regarding attempted murder off the books. And ignore all the Jihadist plans to blow up public buildings.

I’m reading that you think what you do in the privacy of your own home is your business and does not affect anyone else.

You, sir, are sad.
