It's one thing to say that drugs are dangerous. It's quite another to suggest that the decision to legalize/not legalize should be based on that danger.

"Walters was in Las Vegas to convince Nevadans that legalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana is a bad idea. [...] He said baby boomers might think it's harmless that their kids are experimenting with marijuana as they did. He said the marijuana sold to teenagers today is more potent and dangerous than the strain their parents used when they were young." - Las Vegas Review-Journal, July 25, 2002

I think I see the problem. Allow me to rephrase.

It's one thing to say that drugs are dangerous. It's quite another to suggest that the decision to legalize/not legalize should be based on a danger scale.

This of course is like saying that beer should be banned because swilling grain alcohol can kill you. Obviously, in a free market reputable companies would properly label their products, but that never occurs to statists.
