"Responsible cocaine users would no more use the crack form than responsible drinkers drink straight Everclear. It's the illegality of (some) drugs that has encouraged their increased potency---just as Prohibition turned drinkers from beer and wine to liquor."
No responsible drinkers usually do not drink everclear.Many do drink 80 proof scotch though.All I'm saying is that just because something is legal,does not mean people won't seek out high potency levels.I belive the same would be true with crack vs. Garden variety cocaine,Heroin vs. raw opium etc.
"No, I'm taking a consistent stand for freedom---whereas you are parroting the liberal/socialist dogma, "As part of a greater society,we also have responsibility to others."
With freedoms come responsibilitys.The word dogma would more apply to your rigid approach.But I respect your quest for freedom non the less.
just because something is legal,does not mean people won't seek out high potency levels.I didn't say crack use would disappear (the War On Some Drugs let that genie out of the bottle)---but it would most likely be less than it is today.

"Responsibility" means not violating the rights of others; it does not mean "exercising your rights only in the ways Rocksalt approves of." Drug use does not violate the rights of others.
