So you think that ingesting harmful substances into your body and allowing others to do the same is the same as the other examples that you listed.

You said in so many words that "If people stop using drugs, the WOD can end". In other words, stop doing something I dont like, and we will stop trying to confiscate your property, put you in prison and kill you. All this to stop me or others from ingesting a substance - an action that harms no one other than possibly the ingester. Being black harms no one. Evil biggots harm them for their skin color. People minding their own business are robbed and killed for their possessions. They did nothing to deserve it. Women are date raped by sick individuals. All examples are of crimes or force being used against someone who has not initiated force themselves. The War on peaceful people is the same.

I will use one. You said to stop dating men and you won't be raped, I believe. So you equate drug usage as the same thing as being female.

Like I said before, I equate date rape(initiating force) with the WOD. Just as being a woman gives no man the right to rape you, smoking pot gives no one the right to harm, inprison or kill you.

You think that you were born to use drugs. I don't like this sort of logic.

Why do you take things to the goofiest conclusions. Were you born to watch T.V. No? Then lets ban it. Were you born to drive cars. No? Ban them too. Saying a person has the natural right to do with their bodies as they please is not the same thing as saying that you should drink gasoline. You would be stupid to do it, but go ahead. If you rob me becasue you drank gas, I will punish you. I wont ban gas.

I bow to your consumate logic and knowledge of the world. Who can argue with such brilliant rhetoric?
