But there is no such thing as a totally victimless crime

Ciminality is defined by the state. Aren't you saying that all laws are just? Perhaps that's just a logical quibble.

What most of us have been trying to tell you is that bad behavior is not synonymous with pot use. That's pretty simple. Are you saying you simply refuse to believe it? Or, if you do believe it, are you saying that bad behavior by some pot users justifies making criminals of the rest of us - or at least prohibiting us from enjoying it?

That's a whole other argument, o' liberal one. Let's take it up another time.

Bad behavior is not synonymous with pot use, true enough. You could say the same about booze. Yet, bad behavior is often linked to alcohol use, and the same is true for pot use. Could you possibly be denying this link?

If pot is legalized, I will end up paying for the excesses and bad judgment of those who use pot irresponsibly. Could you in any way deny this to be true?

Or, if you do believe it, are you saying that bad behavior by some pot users justifies making criminals of the rest of us - or at least prohibiting us from enjoying it?

Making criminals out of end users—no, I don't like to see it. Making criminals out of dealers, yes. Prohibiting you from enjoying it—yes. Go get drunk if you must take leave of your senses. I like life just fine sober—I don't need to alter my reality, unless it is through pure imagination.
