"Responsible cocaine users would no more use the crack form than responsible drinkers drink straight Everclear. It's the illegality of (some) drugs that has encouraged their increased potency---just as Prohibition turned drinkers from beer and wine to liquor."

The increased potency and "more bang for the buck" has nothing to do with it.

Nothing to do with what? Are you even trying to address what I wrote?

"Ah, the anti-drug-freedom position in a nutshell: 'My mind's made up, don't confuse me with the facts."

You are simply parroting pro-drug rhetoric

No, I'm taking a consistent stand for freedom---whereas you are parroting the liberal/socialist dogma, "As part of a greater society,we also have responsibility to others."

No responsible drinkers usually do not drink everclear.Many do drink 80 proof scotch though.All I'm saying is that just because something is legal,does not mean people won't seek out high potency levels.I belive the same would be true with crack vs. Garden variety cocaine,Heroin vs. raw opium etc.

With freedoms come responsibilitys.The word dogma would more apply to your rigid approach.But I respect your quest for freedom non the less.
