Utterly irrelevant to the question of what should be legal for adults who are not caring for minors.
2. Your neighbor, who smokes a bowl every morning and every night. [...]

I am advocating the total abolition, illegality, whatever you like to call it, of pot, crack, coke, LSD, speed, ‘shrooms, you name it, there is no benefit to these mind altering concoctions
In a free society the burden is not on adults to prove that their activities are "beneficial." I see no benefit to the WWF or wearing one's cap backward, but I don't call for banning them.
and there is harm in even small doses
Evidence?
And why are you moving the goal posts from "making you crazy, irrational, paranoid, mentally ill, mentally unstable, or incoherent" (which you admitted only prolonged use of pot does) to "harm"?
I am pointing out that there is a serious deficit in the behavior of those who use drugs. You can pretend there is not if you like. But you are living in a fantasy land.

You are trying to make drinking a couple of whiskey sours equivalent to dropping acid. It is beyond ridiculous. Case in point, you’d leave a kid with Uncle Ben if he has a couple of whiskey sours. You wouldn’t if he dropped acid.
At least I hope you wouldn’t. Because you know the two drugs are not in the least bit equivalent.
