[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Do you see how silly is the basic point in this last post of yours?

Recreational drug problems cause problems.
The increased use of recreational drugs since the 1960’s has increased those problems.
Keeping drugs illegal has not eliminated those problems.
Therefore, make them legal (and far more prevalent) and the problems may go away.

How could someone be so foolish as to truly believe that string of illogic?

Here is the logical conclusion to your argument:
Therefore, if you make the recreational use of drugs even more prevalent, those problems will continue to increase and they will increase not at the same rate but exponentially as those people who will not try drugs because they are illegal will try drugs and a percentage of them will be harmed by that usage.

That is how logic works.

But not in the liberal mind that has only its own selfish interests at heart.

Your points are valid. Because of the nature of man there will be no utopia (perfect solution) in this world.

Sometimes though, I just want to get the “test” over and see how low we can go............................

On the other hand I really don’t want to experience what it is like when God stops restraining evil.

banning alcohol or other drugs has not been shown to decrease that damage, but clearly does damage of its own.

Keeping drugs illegal has not eliminated those problems.
Therefore, make them legal (and far more prevalent) and the problems may go away.

That's not my argument. Re-read what I wrote (above, in bold).
