The only non-medical purpose of marijuana and other recreational drugs is to get high. So, those substances should not be legal.

Why should people be forbidden from getting high? And if they should, are you also campaigning to make their most popular drug, alcohol, illegal? Or is it just the drugs used by people you don't like that should be criminalized?

What about prescription drugs? Their only non-medical use would also be to get high--should we make them illegal? FedGov is trying -- doctors are afraid to prescribe "too much" pain medication to their patients for fear that NannyGov (who did not spend 6+ years in medical school and has no business dictating scientific policy to them) will yank their licenses.

Soap, glue, correction fluid all have purposes other than getting high

So then, you would agree that criminalizing snack foods and shampoo is a silly waste of our tax dollars?

Getting high and losing control of one's self IS a danger to other people. It's reckless behavior and the driving force behind the majority of crime in this nation. So, yes, public intoxication should be illegal and the selling of drugs should be illegal.
