I don't really see that we are in disagreement - I don't care what mind-altering drug you are on, but if you drive while under it's influence you are being selfish, idiotic, and a menace to society - I think I was pretty clear on that...

That being said, I don't understand where the danger to society is if someone decides to smoke a little pot in the privacy of their own home. It's no different than people who want to get drunk in their own home - as long as they stay there until they "sober up", it's really no one else's business is it? Until they step out their door and go out into society and do stupid crap, and/or endangering others it's their own business...

But, as I stated before, it's crap like Asset forfeiture and the "self-funding" aspect of the drug war that I have a problem with - it opens the door to abuse of power, and tramples our constitution into the dirt - end that aspect of the war on drugs and I'll reconsider my opinion, but right now, as it stands, I will not support the war on drugs as it currently is implemented...

Notice that his so-called "statistics" don't mention whether the people with cannibas in their systems were at fault in the accidents, or even whether they were driving, and that they only include illegal drugs. They are therefore meaningless.

Overwhelmingly, the most common drug found in people who cause traffic accidents, is alcohol.
