"I didn't say crack use would disappear (the War On Some Drugs let that genie out of the bottle)---but it would most likely be less than it is today."

You are entitled to speculate just as I do sometimes.That's your gut feeling,and I go by intuition alot too.

"Responsibility" means not violating the rights of others; it does not mean "exercising your rights only in the ways Rocksalt approves of." Drug use does not violate the rights of others."

No drug use does not violate the rights of others,in theory,but behaviors related to drug use are oftentimes known to.If drugs are legalized there might be a whole lot of people accounting for their actions.

False; I have offered facts and logic in support of that position.

Ditto for alcohol; should we ban that drug? Suppose we found that shooters of abortionists often had been reading anti-abortion literature prior to their crimes; would that be a good reason to ban anti-abortion literature?
