No. You didn’t rebut. You stated your ideology. Rebuttal requires facts, which you do not have. We will not agree, except to disagree. Legalization of drugs has no place in the ideology of Conservatives. You may keep it where it belongs - to liberals and libertarians.

Wrong as usual. Here's the fact-based rebuttal:

Prohibition is irrelevant to your argument, because alcohol and pot are not the same thing,

That they are not the same thing is what's irrelevant. They are both addictive mind-altering substances (but alcohol is more addictive, and the only one that can directly kill you).

and never will be. For example, while plenty of people enjoy a glass or two of wine with a meal, the only reason anybody ever smoked pot was to get stoned. Period.

Some claim to drink only for the flavor - and some of those are probably telling the truth, while others enjoy the mild buzz they euphemize as "relaxing" or "unwinding." At least a sizeable minority of drinkers seek the mental effects; so even if that percentage is less than 100%, the difference is too thin a reed to support the complete banning of one versus the regulated legality of the other.
