Stop avoiding questions.

What school did you attend?

I think Marijuana should be legal but of course regulated like Alcohol.   Lets not forget that.  It is regulated and controlled.   Expecting the government to regulate and control meth or heroin or cocaine is not feasible.  Those drugs are much more destructive.

If harder drugs were to be legal, I would expect them to be sold like marijuana is sold.  Whether or not they are legal or illegal to sell is secondary to the idea that anyone should be imprisoned for using them.

You live in a dream world that is no different than the one the far Left lives in.  It all sounds so good in theory and on paper.  You want to live in a drug infested society when we have plenty of examples of what that really looks like?  Great.  I don't.

First...

Stop avoiding questions.  Based on your reasoning for not wanting to legalize drugs (other than those you like: alcohol), do you support marijuana legalization?

Second....

Guns, alcohol, cigarettes and unhealthy items like fast food incur extreme costs in our country each year.  I full support everyone's right to eat, own a gun and drink, smoke etc.  Unlike you, who only supports indivdual freedom when it's something that my political party supports, I'm actually consistent in supporting individual freedom for things, regardless of whether or not there's a R or a D next to it.

Nope you have read enough of my posts to know that isn't true.  I rip the GOP quite a bit for their gutless support of many things.  Like I say, you want to live in a high crime drug infested society.  I don't.

#5? - Based on your reasoning for not wanting to legalize drugs (other than those you like: alcohol), do you support marijuana legalization?

Like I said, I support all individual freedoms; not just those that I'm told to support by a political party.  If you were consistent with your desire to control society, you would be supporting prohibition, banning of cigarettes and banning of guns.  However, you're NOT consistent...which is why you can't answer the simple question I've asked you 5+ times.

That's just burfle.  We don't live in anarchy.  There is a legitimate need for laws.  We decriminalized drug use and the result has been catastrophic and a disaster for society.

For the sake of keeping this discussion focused, let's agree that we need laws that are enforced by the government.  If your concern is impact on society, why don't you want to ban guns, alcohol, cigarettes and unhealthy foods?

Because they don't have the same negative impact on society.

A report was recently released which shows that drunk driving costs the United States more than $132 billion each year. This is according to data compiled by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE). You may think that if you donâ€t drink and drive, these costs donâ€t affect you. Unfortunately, that isnâ€t the case. The below costs affect all of us.

https://www.lifesafer.com/blog/real-cost-drunk-driving/

In 2017, FAIR's "The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers" report put the total cost of illegal immigration at $135 billion a year, while claiming undocumented immigrants paid only $19 billion a year in taxes. That leaves a net cost to local, state and federal governments of $116 billion a year.

That's JUST drunk driving accidents.  So, again, you're inconsistent, which is why you STILL refuse to answer the question about marijuana.  Also, freedom isn't given based on results, despite what you and other Republicans may want to believe.

The fact that you believe those numbers are credible or even reasonable tells me quite a bit about your ability, or lack of, to think clearly.

The total economic cost of smoking in the US is estimated at more than $300 billiona year. This includes nearly $170 billion in direct medical care for adults and more than $156 billion in lost productivity due to premature death and exposure to secondhand smoke [2].

Drug infested society-welcome to Ohio and Kentucky. Infested as all get out and opiates are certainly illegal.
