You're confused with the word "covet". Covetousness has nothing to do with enforcing God's moral laws.
Link to Scripture on covetousness
Regarding private property rights: Man's dominion over the earth has not vested any individual with the right to own any specific property, however. What man received was the authority to own property, not a conveyance of title. Nor does the Bible teach that God gave all the earth and its contents to all mankind in common. No title to any property was conveyed until God put Adam into the Garden of Eden. See Genesis 2:15. And, God took the title to Eden away from Adam and Eve as a result of their disobedience of His laws. The title to Eden was not determined on the basis of labor, dominion authority or other right. Rather, the account of Adam and Eve reveals that all property is the gift of God.
Because property is the gift of God to man in his familial capacity, the nature of civil authority over property is necessarily limited to punishing wrongdoing, such as theft. Examples of laws which are generally intended to serve this purpose are laws of descent and standards of proper weights and measures. Other laws which the civil ruler may enforce are laws against trespass (an intrusion upon lawful property use), and nuisance (using one's property to interfere with another's use of property). In each case, civil laws are designed to facilitate family dominion, not usurp it. If this protective authority is exceeded, as is the case in many zoning ordinances, the family's authority is usurped.

Put down the Ron Paul libertarian bong CC, you'll be a better man for it.
Everything you just said, could also be said (and has been said) about alcohol as well.
Prohibition of alcohol didn't work either.
Ah yes, FINALLY we get to what dopertarianism...ahem...libertarianism is all about, the legalization of recreational drugs. Let's see what Scripture says about intoxicating oneself:

Keep in mind that we've become a society of "ism's": Hedonism, nihilism and narcissism, do you really want to unleash recreational drugs on a society like ours (keeping in mind that IT IS AGAINST SCRIPTURE TO GET HIIIIGH?)
"...the magistrate, the ruler, "is the minister of God to thee for good" (vs. 4). The ruler is God's minister, His diakonos. He is a deacon, a laborer, a ministrant, an attendant to people for God. As the derivation of diakonos shows, he is one who runs errands: God's errands. In particular, he is to be a Christian teacher and pastor. If the ruler is the minister of God to men for good, then he must rule in accordance with God's judgment of the good, not man's willful, subjective desire to redefine the good. If the ruler is a minister to men for good then he must enforce God's law, not man's desires: there is no other alternative."
"All law commands human action; it seeks either to restrain or to urge particular actions. It necessarily says either "Thou shalt" or "Thou shalt not," and it backs these commands to action or restraint with coercion, with sanctions enforced by the power of the sword. The sword and the word are united in law. And because the word commands action by men, the word of law is necessarily a morel teaching, a teaching which seeks to guide the ruled along a particular way of action, of life. This way of life which the law-word commands is what the ruler or lawgiver considers good, and for this reason it is again inevitably a moral teaching, of one sort or another."
Man's laws either encourages immoral behavior (as in Roe v. Wade) or discourages it (as seen in other legitimate laws such as "thou shalt not murder and thou shalt not steal").
Regarding Randall Terry: Not that I don't want to take the word of a Christian Capitalist that wants to DESTROY millions of lives through the legalization of recreational drugs, but I learned long ago that there are always two sides to EVERY story.

As I said, it is FAR easier for any teenager in America to get their hands on a half-ounce of marijuana, than to get their hands on a half-pint of vodka. RIGHT NOW.
The reason being, that Liquor store owners don't want to lose their license by selling to kids, whereas drug dealers don't care.
Horse, Barn door.
Tell you what. I'll try to write up an Essay on Dutch Reformed/Conservative Presbyterian theonomy over the next week or so, so that you can read the argument in full rather than this sort of piecemeal exchange. At the moment, I've got Ron and Rand Paul's Creationism to defend. Nothing personal, honest; I'm just choosing where I want to spend my FReeping time at the moment.
I will say, though, that I still think it's a terrible shame that you look up to Randall Terry. The man has willfully brought enormous Public Scandal upon the Pro-Life movement by his Adulterous debauchery.
So if you don't like "my side" of the story, maybe you should read Cindy Terry's.
