That would be true only if I was claiming you are Bill Clinton; are you really stupid enough to think that was my point? My point, of course, is that your weaselly semantic squirming resembles that of Bill Clinton---and since a statement about your argument is not a statement about you, it cannot be an ad hominem.
(By the way, that's ad hominem.)
Yes. It was the issue on which we began to talk.
You said they were equivalent. We now both agree, after I pointed out with no ad hominum attack or argument, that they are not.
Use of drugs or influence of drug use is a separate more broad issue.
I always wonder why you one topic WOD obsessed types are so disingenuous when talking about legalization.
Why don't you all simply say that you like drugs and they should be legal.
Why hide behind convoluted arguments about any and every thing. Why dance around it.
Why the obsession with the issue?
Because I don't like them---including the deadly addictive drugs tobacco and alcohol.
and they should be legal.
I've said it many times.
Why don't you stop lying about drug use by those who disagree with you?
Italics are optional; correct spelling is mandatory.
Whom am I lying about?
Whom am I lying about?
Me.
I do not believe you, simply put.
Perhaps I would if you actually spoke about the reasons for your obsession.
They advertise safety features for Volvos but the usually neglect mentioning the most major safety feature, i.e. the fact that they usually don't run and that you can only hurt yourself so badly sitting underneath a tree in a car. The 6-cylindar Volvos when they do run often look like a destroyer laying down a smoke screen in old Victory at Sea scenes.
A lady pulled into a friend's garage with one of those a while back and I yelled "Gee I didn't know El Producto made cars!!" and I know the lady heard it. Great fun...

I owe no explanation to anyone willing to call me a liar to my face, but ... the right to use drugs is a direct corollary of the fundamental right to ownership of one's own body, and is a right denied not only by many liberals but by some self-styled "conservatives"---which particularly chaps my conservative hide.
Certainly not.
But why the one topic obsession?
And I would never call anyone a liar behind their back.
Read the rest of my post.
Why this one issue, out of the myriad issues out there, to the exclusion of all other?
Why the obsession?
Perhaps you could elaborate on this.
I know it is the major "right" the left claims in contemporary America upon which much of their social agenda argument is based.
Upon what do you base this right and how does it with with conservatism.
Interesting how you mind works.
Perhaps you some counciling. You likley have issues.
They get a reprieve.
