“So you advocate a return to Prohibition of the irrational-aggressive-and-stupid-making drug alcohol, right?”

Oh yes, that’s a logical leap.

Prohibition made ALL alcohol consumption illegal (except sacramental, I think).

I oppose legal GETTING HIGH. Because you don’t have a right to mess up your head and then wander around with sober people, being crazy, irrational, aggressive, with your inhibitions lowered and your avarice artificially increased. If you were alone on an island? I wouldn’t care. But you aren’t.

Drink if you like. Don’t get drunk. There are laws against public drunkenness. I support them.

And current drug laws make ALL consumption of banned drugs illegal. Do you support that? If so, why would you oppose a return to Prohibition?

So do I. Should private drunkenness remain legal? If so, why not private high-ness?

So, then, you are also against stupid people, people with lower IQ scores, etc. and subscribe to Eugenics?
