It makes no sense.
Well said, but don't expect that to save you from the petty drug war fascists. It's a conservative position to want to keep the government out of our homes, backyards, and to respect individual choice and privacy. Trying to claim the opposite is an absurd inversion of what it means to be conservative.
And, as you have noted, alcohol, a legal drug, is the worst drug on the face of god's green earth, by a long shot. It's responsible for more death and destruction than all others combined. The hypocrisy of the drug war apologists is breathtaking. The only intellectually honest position to take would be for prohibitionists to include alcohol as well on the list of banned substances.
I think it’s an exaggeration to say that alcohol is the worst drug. I’m sure a higher percentage of people who use meth and crack have it damage their lives than those who use alcohol. So many more people use alcohol than the hard drugs. One Sam Adams is a lot less dangerous than one snort of cocaine.
