"I don’t buy the argument that criminalization doesn’t work, therefore drugs should be legal. No activity has ever been stopped by making it illegal, but making certain activities illegal certainly does help to decrease the incidence of those activities."

No consideration of personal freedom in that line of thought, Mom? Sounds like you haven't quite left your old, Democrat statist ways behind you.

Ah, yes, words of wisdom from someone who cannot grasp the concept that our bodies are formed on the basis of CO2 (no exceptions).

You might try studying Buddhism. Then you can start to explore the concept that life is not about absolutes, but about balance. Your right to do whatever you want (be stoned all the time, commit murder without restriction, rob from convenience stores, etc.) is balanced against the rights of the rest of the population who does not want to pay for your drugged up lifestyle, does not want to be killed for your pleasure, does not want sky-high prices at the local shop, etc. If your chosen lifestyle did not affect other people, I doubt anyone would care what you do.
