if we can't afford to legalize drugs can we afford to keep the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol legal?

Is it “fair” to potheads, one might ask?

That's not what I asked.

That the world’s most popular (by far) and historically popular (by far) drug is legal and trying to ban it was a failed experiment is not relevant when talking about legalizing weed, or smack, or crack.

Those bans have failed in all the ways Prohibition did.

Your freedom stops when it infringes on the rights of others.

Using alcohol or other drugs doesn't in itself infringe on the rights of others.

I have always said and still say that its best to let states make these individual decisions as test cases for us to observe and conclude on rather than a nationwide decree of legalization or Prohibition.

I always tell this to libs here who defend Obamacare;

I don't want a national King who calls himself conservative either.

Lets see how this test case in CO works out, I said this when it passed and repeat it now.
