In other words drugs. You are very fixated on that. But what are the limits? Very recently, it was a crime to cheat on your spouse under the Military Code of Justice. Not that long ago, there were states which fined and had jail time for adultery, homosexuality, and the such. In fact, using your argument, why is sex with minors wrong? Why is my merry band of pirates wrong?
By focusing on the "You can't outlaw (my favorite) sin!", you are totally missing the point. If you want to legalize drugs, go about the same way you would making a change to the speed limit. Show data, make a logical argument, make your case. Be prepared to defend yourself and that data. For instance, explain why things aren't a happy utopia in Portugal after the legalization of most drugs. By relying on an emotional argument, you will get only an emotional response.
First, since there is ZERO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY for the WOSD, I don’t HAVE to provide stats or anything else. You drug warriors have to do that and get an amendment passed in order to dump on the American People. Once upon a time, you just mighta done that. Not any more. And it’s not about drugs so much as it is about government controlling folks’ lives, something abhorrent and anathema to a free society. But the WOSD got fedgov’s foot in the door for people control and got you and yours used to being told by governments what to ingestion or what sort of firearms you could have, and now it’s getting naked pics taken of you whenever you want to fly somewhere. And all because some churches got lazy and thought to have government do God’s job. Whatever happened to self-reliance and self-responsibility and self-determination? You’ve made big government your god and your religion and you’re wallowing in that filth. Sad thing is, you want to drag the rest of us down with you.
"Five years later, the number of deaths from street drug overdoses dropped from around 400 to 290 annually, and the number of new HIV cases caused by using dirty needles to inject heroin, cocaine and other illegal substances plummeted from nearly 1,400 in 2000 to about 400 in 2006" - Scientific American, April 7, 2009

Another Drug Warrior fantasy - "Under the Portuguese plan, penalties for people caught dealing and trafficking drugs are unchanged; dealers are still jailed and subjected to fines depending on the crime."
