It is obvious you favor the idea that gov’t can tell you what you may consume, & what you may not.

Um, I favor the government stopping negligent behavior that endangers other people's lives. That includes losers that like to get high.

That is proper function of government. Liberaltarian can't grasp that, though.

I also “favor the government stopping negligent behavior that endangers other people's lives.” Anybody weaving down the road in a car or causing a public disturbance needs to be arrested. But, like someone having a drink in their home, I do not consider private consumption of recreational drugs to be negligent behavior. This is a gross intrusion into our private lives & opens the door to innumerable mandates & prohibitions on individuals. Pure tyranny.
