The only way this will be achieved is if you simply ban those who support the ridiculous and highly immoral idea of drug legalization. That is absolutely NOT a conservative concept, and would therefore be better suited for a place other than FR."If adults want to take such chances [using marijuana], that is their business."
"Of course dad was for legalization."
-Michael Reagan
"I have not spoken of the cost to our society of the astonishing legal weapons available now to policemen and prosecutors; of the penalty of forfeiture of one's home and property for violation of laws which, though designed to advance the war against drugs, could legally be used -- I am told by learned counsel -- as penalties for the neglect of one's pets. I leave it at this, that it is outrageous to live in a society whose laws tolerate sending young people to life in prison because they grew, or distributed, a dozen ounces of marijuana. I would hope that the good offices of your vital profession would mobilize at least to protest such excesses of wartime zeal, the legal equivalent of a My Lai massacre. And perhaps proceed to recommend the legalization of the sale of most drugs, except to minors."

"Of course dad was for legalization." -Michael Reagan
And yet, for the eight years he was President, not once did he suggest drugs be legalized, or recommend legislation to do so.
So much for your strawman.
D'oh!
