Alcohol can be used as an aid to health. I drank beer for the protein when I nursed my children who went on to graduate with honors from Stanford and Boalt Hall. I can drink with dinner but it never affects my brain power and I have never been “drunk” since once in college when I was drinking vodka. :) I was into vice at that time—anti-God-—vice breeds vice and I was stupid and naive.

There is no known benefits from most drugs like cocaine and pot which actually contain harmful toxins for the body and/or lungs and brain.

Both alcohol and marijuana have health benefits as well as the potential for abusive vice (and if one inhales marijuana via a vaporizer one avoids the harms of smoke). So how should these drugs be treated in law - and is there any reason to treat them differently?

So you want to make drugs real cheap so all immature children will be seduced into polluting their bodies

Since teens report that they can get pot more easily than beer or cigarettes, it looks like the most effective way to keep pot out of teens' hands (and still-developing brains) is to legalize it for adults - so sellers have an incentive not to sell to kids (namely, the loss of their legal adult sales).

and become addicted (just like my classmate)

Alcohol is more addictive than marijuana.

and destroying their brain (studies prove it).

Studies prove that alcohol can destroy the brain.

That is really wise. When you have a society that can promote Vice to children

Again, to legalize is not to promote - it is not against the law to insult one's spouse yet that is not thereby promoted.

Manson’s friends were all on drugs and they didn’t really care about money. Look at the prisons-—most gangs and prostitutes and degenerates are all addicted to drugs.

That doesn't show that drug use led to their crimes, any more than the fact that they all drink water shows that water led to their crimes.

To insult one’s spouse is evil. It is immoral (vice).

Agreed. Should it be illegal? If it's legal, does that promote it or make it a virtue?

Government is to create a “Just” society. So, for laws to be Just Law-—they can’t be used to force vice—or evil—such as “rights” for sodomites or rights for abortionists or “rights” for drug users.

That doesn’t mean they have to have laws that punish it—unless the acts are impacting families in really negative ways. If people were sodomizing boys—which always happened in homosexual societies , than laws would have to be enforced and severe to end the practice (which they have not been traditionally).

The Founders understood that men were not “angels” and that if men were not “virtuous or religious” we would not be able to be Free. That concept understands the necessary of personal restraint from base instincts which destroy one’s health and rationality because a Free Republic is not designed to be totalitarian-—the need for people to be civil and honest is essential to the economy-—and it comes from Virtue. People without virtue are incapable of being free-—they will have to be totally controlled by government or incapacitated by drugs.

Forcing young children to take “Pride” in sodomy is unconstitutional. It is forcing a Satanic religious cult’s ideology on vulnerable minds-—making them irrational—unable to understand the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God”.

Studies on marijuana show the LONG term effect on the brain, unlike alcohol. I explained that the Just Society has an interest in the Intellect having power to control base instincts. It is what creates a civil and Just society. If you think it is wise to allow people to “diminish” their cognitive power—and that is EVER a GOOD thing—I disagree. I think it reduces man to an animal-—the Marxist model of group think-—impaired intellectual capacity so that decisions are affected in a negative, base way. Bull about druggies using “vaporizers”.....they can’t be concerned about their “health”—they think with their unused pea-sized brainwashed godless brain-—and think “Feelings” trump intellect and virtue is meaningless when all the Founders stated that without Virtue (and Judeo-Christian ethics)—you can never have a Free Republic. We become a police state.
