No, I advocate for the liberty of adults to use drugs if they choose.

Do you advocate for the liberty of adults to murder if they choose

No, because murder unlike drug use violates an individual's rights.

You use drugs, or murder or steal and guess what? That affects me and our nation.

The "effect" on the nation of Joe's drug use is not the proper object of government force, since it unlike murder and stealing is an "effect" that violates nobody's rights.

And because you support a law making dope smoking legal, don't be suprised when they pass a law making abortion legal.

Unlike drug use, abortion by definition violates the most basic right of the unborn person.

Isn't it amusing how Responsibility2nd employs the same reasoning as the majority in Wickard v. Filburn? I mean, on any conservative litmus test, a love of Wickard v. Filburn has to be first and foremost, no?
