Those for legalizing pot here are mostly of the drug culture I think to begin with and are using a political party as a way to legalize their stash unspun.
They don't frame the issue as a need to change the method of enforcing the restrictions of illegal drugs, instead they want to open the door to all vices at ones leisure. That in no way seems a conservative trait.

Thanks for the sleazy ad hominem attack---it exposes the emptiness of the Drug Warrior position.

At least you recognize and admit your own pre-conceptions. Now you have to realize that as long as you hold on to them, your views are suspect in the context of a rational debate.

Well, that depends on your definition of "conservative". I always thought that modern conservatives wanted, first and foremost, to restore the constitution. That would shut down all sorts of social spending and control exerted by the Federal government. This would come from strict enforcement of the Bill of Rights, specifically the Tenth Amendment.

The Tenth forbids the Feds from doing anything not specifically listed in Article 1/Section 8 or added by amendment. That does more than say no Federal input to welfare, education, SS, and so on. It also means no Federal control of drugs. Just like it once meant no Federal control of alcohol without a specific amendment to change the list.

So you see, the Libertarians are more conservative than you on this issue.
