Sure it is - you're coercing people for their own (supposed) spiritual good./bp>

I notice this is the only point you addressed - still no support for your claimed distinction between alcohol and other drugs.

You don't know this basic fundamental Biblical doctrine ?

I don't believe that anything about government is a "basic fundamental" Biblical doctrine.

The civil government and it's laws are not for the spiritual good of lawbreakers.

Romans 13:4 (NIV): "For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good." (emphasis added)

The distinction between alcohol and drugs is obvious to anyone not playing games.

The civil government bears the sword to function as a restraint on evil, which is a blessing to the elect.

It doesn’t eliminate evil, it does not convert anyone to Christ. It just punishes lawbreakers, which is a blessing to the elect.

Now, go post something other than drug legalization propaganda just to make it look good.

Your propaganda is showing.
