Their rights end where mine begin. A corner stone of how our systems works.
Your drug use inspires my kid to do something stupid, that effects me. Your show up at my business as an employee stoned, screw up and injure yourself or another co worker or a customer, that effects me.
That is the responsibility thing that separates you libertarians from Conservatives. Why great Conservative leaders never ran as libertarians. There is a point where rights intersect in a community and society. Every man has a right to do as he pleases as long as its effects do not impact anyone beyond his island. However no man is an island completely unto himself is he?
My alcohol & caffeine drinking inspires your kid to do stupid things?

Except I'm not libertarian. Although I agree with them on drug laws. What separates them from you in this regard is they believe in the Constitution.

And how does someone smoking marijuana impact society any differently than drinking alcohol?
First of all, it's "affects". "Effects" is the noun usage. Sorry a "pro-pot" stoner burnout had to point that out to you. Second of all, this whole "for the children" nonsense is worthy of Hillary "it takes a village" Clinton. If you're not a good enough parent to keep your kid from using drugs, it shouldn't "effect" the rest of us.
