if you're asking if I'd much rather vote to eliminate the financial burden being placed on me by drug use, then the answer is yes I would.

Why can't I do that, yet keep those drugs illegal?

You can---but why would you?

I would be more inclined to hear your argument for drug legalization if I didn't have to support the drug user.

Are you likewise less inclined to support alcohol's legality because you have to support the alcohol user?

"Why can't I do that, yet keep those drugs illegal?" "You can---but why would you?"

Did you think that my only objection to legalizing drugs was the fact that they are a financial burden on the rest of us?

This question has been answered my me in numerous other posts over the years. That's where you'll find my answer.
