believing individual consciousness

How does the "government" ascertain the state of your "consciousness"? What is "consciousness"? What is life"? If a tree falls in the forest and no one to hear .....is there a sound? So many deep thoughts and so little time.

if you dont know what consciousness is, you do not possess it. also, your sophistry indicates a primacy of consciousness philosophy. a dictionary should clear up most of your confusion. alteration of consciousness is the result of using any drug, alcohol or other. should the state dictate what an individual can or cannot do with it? so, statism or individual liberty?

Being as this drug thread was "the only game in town" you should've had plenty of time.
