I've already covered this, o' liberal one. I'm happy to pay for prison time; as I see it I either pay for prison for them, or pay for the societal havoc they wreck. If I have to pay for one or the other, I'll pay to lock them up.
I don't like getting drunk. I don't care about how you live your life. Your ignorant characterizations of how I live mine only succeed in portraying you as provincial and inexperienced.
Here, as expected, we see the liberal resorting to their finest, time-honed tactic; hanging a label on your opponent. I am honored that you choose me to drop your H-bomb on.

You're happy to pay $XX,XXX per annum to keep locked up a person whose only crime was possessing marijuana? Boy, used car salesmen must grin from ear to ear whenever you walk on the lot.
You haven't covered anything. You're already paying for prison time, some of which is punishment for genuinly bad behavior. You have to show that societal havoc will increase dramatically if pot is legalized, and that it will be more costly than the drug war which, itself, is wreaking societal havoc in many ways. Show your stuff.
There's something else. Every human action alters reality. Otherwise, what would be the point? A night's sleep, a good meal, an unexpected smile, a small gift. All can profoundly alter a person's outlook. So it's not alteration of reality that bothers you but only a particular type; the drug experience in general and marijuana in particular. Yet your posts show you have very little understanding of it. Rather you're motivated by fear. Fear that drugs will unloose the demons and destroy your world. In that way you seem remarkably close to Anslinger.
