"A person's body and "functions" belongs to that person, not to society, so the decision as to the "value" of drugs put into that body belongs to the person, not to society."

This would infer we only have responsibility to our own selves.As part of a greater society,we also have responsibility to others.

That says it all for your phony "consevatism." Since we have now established that yours is not a conservative position, I have only this left to say:

it's not working real well with the substances that are legal at this point.I think the "law of the jungle" [...]would better control the drug menace than goverment regulation.Armed citizens would make drug dealer's lives hell

The logical conclusion from what you write above is that armed citizens should also be free to make the lives of legal substance dealers hell. Hardly a conservative position.

You have your opinion,I have mine.

Just stick with your position of trading one form of goverment control for another.If that's your solution,fine.

As I pointed out in an earlier post,in my own area there was a case where a father felt his daughter was in danger from a drug dealer,the police were not helpful,after he established the dealer was a threat,he took matters into his own hands.The police and courts ended up ruling he was justified in his actions.I'm not personally ready to do this,but I'm sure it made alot of dealers think twice.I never once said anything about legal substances.Don't put words in my mouth,or infer things I'm not actually saying.
