Here’s the kinda logic I’m trying to sell....
We don’t need more crap in the game!
You’re the clown that introduced “the war on drugs” and then tried to pawn it off as though it was some inadequate concept that I’d suggested.
As for bogus logic, the idea that if they didn’t have access to drugs, they’d certainly be alcoholics, is just more crap!
Hope you do better than the first time.

The "crap" is already here and millions of people are doing it while millions of others have tried said "crap", so the "crap" is already in the game. By keeping the “crap” out of the game, the WOD has managed to create a violent black market, turned tens of millions of citizens into scofflaws, given a criminal record to millions of non-violent drug users, etc. I could go on and on. All this would never had happened if we'd never kept the "crap" out of the "game".
By keeping the "crap" you refer to out of the "game" you end up with inequality before the law. To discriminate between "legal" vs "illegal" drugs is to create injustice. The moral hazards and risks for legal and illegal drugs are the same, yet we treat people differently before the law based on the drugs they possess. That is injustice pure and simple.
A guy getting drunk every night is the moral equivalent of a guy smoking pot every night. If one is legal, then the other must be. If one is illegal, then the other must be. To have one legal and one illegal is unjust. Surely you can see that?

Now you're being obtuse. Let's see what you posted earlier:
I’ve seen enough lives and families destroyed via these “victimless crimes”. (4 siblings from a very “Leave it to Beaver” family.)
As this article was about changing the laws on pot and you took a position against it, I think it's logical to assume that you support the WOD as is. You mentioned some folks you knew affected by drug abuse as poster children for why the WOD is needed. I merely pointed out that WOD didn't stop them from abusing drugs. The fact that you point to a WOD failure as some sort of reason to continue with the failed policy is your logical flaw, not mine.
As for bogus logic, the idea that if they didn’t have access to drugs, they’d certainly be alcoholics, is just more crap!
This one sailed over your head. I was merely pointing out that even "legal" drugs can be problematic for some folks. I didn't say they would be alcoholics, I asked if that is what you'd prefer, since alcohol is in the "game". I'm sure you wouldn't, but if harm is a reason to ban any substance, then alcohol qualifies in spades. As there's no chance alcohol prohibition is coming back, the injustice between it and marijuana can only be eliminated by changing the pot laws to where they mirror alcohol.
