That was pointing out one facet of detrimental aspects to society drugs bring.
You can be as stubborn as you wish but you have no positive argument for your cause.

The death penalty for drug dealers is a perfect example of justice.
10-years hard labor for the users. In a perfect world.

it's an argument against legal pot only if an individual's productivity is not his to diminish if he chooses. If you want to say your statement was not an argument against legal pot but merely a rambling tangent, that's fine.

That was pointing out one facet of detrimental aspects to society drugs bring.

And that detriment is relevant to pot law only if an individual's productivity is not his to diminish if he chooses.

you have no positive argument for your cause.

Wrong as usual - the positive arguments for pot legalization are: it will stop putting pot profits in the hands of criminals; it will make possible the effective regulation of pot, e.g., age limits; and it will respect the principle that the proper role of government is to protect individual rights.

The death penalty for drug dealers is a perfect example of justice.

Dealers regularly kill each other, yet every resulting 'vacancy' is quickly filled - criminalization has made the profits too large to resist.

10-years hard labor for the users.
