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.

So, are you saying that it's ok to lose control of one's self, as long as you're not high?

Anyway, no sale. Someone who gets intoxicated privately does not endanger anybody's health except possibly their own. We have plenty of bad things people do that hurt others, and not enough good guys to catch them. It makes no sense, fiscally or morally, to persecute people for what they might do, or what inanimate objects they own.

Ok, the principle you espouse is that it is right to criminilize behavior or objects that might lead to the commission of a real crime. Your assertion then gives the government the power to stop anything which might lead to a crime. So any behavior and object can be illegal.

You must believe the Constitution of the US should read 'The government can do whatever it wants to do.' And following your principle they can start grabbing guns. Because dont you know a gun might be used to commit a crime. There is no difference in reasoning. This is why government keeps getting bigger, so called conservatives give it unlimited power and the Dems come along for the ride.
