So you want to ban alcohol? If not, why not? It costs 'society' more than pot. What about fatty foods and large slurpees?

No, I simply want those who self-abuse by risky behaviors to be responsible for their own well-being. I don't want the hand of government in my pocket to help them party or to mitigate the results of their partying.

That's exactly what the government does with alcohol, yet you don't want to ban it like you do pot. Why not?

Also, what is your answer to my question on intrastate drug policy being regulated by states rather than the feds, per the 10th Amendment?
