—What, another one of you popping off with this nonsensical and misleading claim?

Hint, We didn’t have laws against nuclear weapons either, and for the same reason.—

Nuclear weapons were not invented until 1945. Opium was used as a drug for centuries until the FDA was created. Nuclear weapons can kill hundreds of thousands in seconds. Opium cannot.

Is this really how “conservatives” debate? Didn’t any of you hysterical nanner-staters take a rhetoric course in college or high school?

Don't judge all by one.

Nuclear weapons were not invented until 1945. Opium was used as a drug for centuries until the FDA was created.

And neither were a problem in 1787 because they weren't widely available. It's only when such things become widely available that they become a problem.

Nuclear weapons can kill hundreds of thousands in seconds. Opium cannot.

You are right, opium is a lot slower, I'll grant you that, but I don't see any utility in accepting the slow murder of hundreds of millions by opium and the consequences thereof.

Given the nonsensical non sequiturs you tend to spout, I actually think i'm putting too much thought into my responses towards you. Why should I try to make sense when you aren't doing it?
