To feel someone should have a right to self medicate with recreational drugs [...] is the opposite of conservative in being the opposite of responsible.

Wrong. Real American conservatives don't believe the government should enforce responsibility ... except in those cases where irresponsibility violates the rights of others. Staying up late every night is irresponsible, as is eating a lot of junk food, but they're not government's business.

To: Know your rights
They are stopping irresponsibility that is a threat to the culture and to all peoples.
It (illegal recreational drug use) is a dangerous act, not something a normal person would get into.
