By that standard, smoking, overeating, gay sex, premarital sex, not studying, not sleeping enough, playing poker, weekend football playing, the Super Bowl, and eating candy, should all be considered proper places for govt regulations. Just admit it, you love big govt, just with proper "conservative controls" on it.
Lol! Your litany of red herrings doesn’t cause a net drop in GDP or diminish productivity in the work place the way drugs do. But in any case I’m all in favor of supporting your right to legalize drugs if you are in favor of my right as a business owner to test you, track you, and otherwise make sure I’m not paying someone who shows up to work with half their brains. Since most pro-drug advocates want big government to protect them from that, I’d have to ask, whose really for big government, and who isn’t?
