I enjoy wine, but don't drunk to get drunk.

Alcohol, while legal is still problematic. Kids still get it despite the laws and the fact that is so readily available makes such far more prevalent and easier than it should be.

So the "conservative" answer is to make MORE such drugs available, that will make society safer and people more productive?

Everyone running around drunk and stoned and high and spaced out as long as it is “legal” is a conservative argument?

Really?

Wow...

I think that sums up the gulf between conservative and libertarian rather succinctly, why Reagan always said Libertarianism is the heart of Conservatism, but never said they were equals. Conservatives understand responsibility sometimes goes beyond self interests.

You've got it exactly backward. Since kids report that they can now get marijuana more easily than cigarettes or beer, it follows that the best way to restict their access to drugs is to make them legal for adults only (thus giving those who sell to adults a disincentive to sell to kids - namely, the loss of their legal adult market).

No, the conservative answer = small government. Period. I'm sorry you don't get that.

Advocating for Government to punish and imprison people for what they do to their own bodies is "it takes a village" rubbish.
