If you insist on making an alcohol analogy, then how about this as a response: The XXI Amendment ended prohibition. Why don't you get the necessary states to pass a XXVIII Amendment legalizing all drugs? You get the votes, you get the States, you get your drugs. Just like alcohol.

Bad analogy, since there was an Amendment which outlawed alcohol, but there was never an Amendment which outlawed drugs.

So back to your bogus "consistency" argument. Why is it your position that fans of marijuana's legalization must also want to legalize heroin, etc., yet opponents of MJ legalization can, at the same time, favor legal alcohol? Aren't you at least as inconsistent?

No, good analogy.

There was never an amendment outlawing a woman's right to vote, or an eighteen-year-old's either. Yet the XIX and the XXVI were passed.

As to the rest, I don't hear people talking about the War on Marijuana, do you? I hear the War on Drugs. On what grounds can you favor the federal legalization of marijuana but not other drugs (without being a hypocrite)?

I don't see any inconsistency in my position. Vote to pass an amendment or change the laws and I'll honor the outcome.
