There's nothing more I can say. You've made it clear that you don't give a damn about my liberties. You've made it clear that you can't see the correlation between the War on Drugs and Prohibition.

Just because people like you are too afraid of other people under the influence, doesn't give you the fucking right to take away my liberties, so you feel safer. Do you honestly think that you don't interact with people who are high or drunk, already? You'd be pretty fucking naive to think that everybody who seems "normal" is sober. People can function just fine.

Again, it's a minority of people that wield knives and stab others. It's a minority of people who use their cars to maul down people. It's a minority of people who use guns to kill people. It's a minority of people who commit suicide. It's a minority of people who destroy their lives due to drugs. Should we outlaw knives, cars, guns, and should we throw everybody into padded cells in case we hurt ourselves, too?

Who would you be protecting, then? Certainly not me. You'd only be protecting yourself. Most people know the consequences of their actions, and they take full responsibility for them. Like, for instance, myself and xptek.

Oh, I know you're going to redirect me to your argument of "well, only a minority of people commit murder", but then you'd just be completely ignoring my point. Murder, theft, assault, rape, molestation, etc... are all laws regarding the impediment of another being's rights. As I've stated before, and you've actually agreed, the act of being intoxicated isn't a guarantee that another's rights will be impeded on.

I care as much about your liberty of being able to smoke pot as you do of my liberty of not having to deal with it. If you can show me why YOUR liberty is better than MY liberty, then we'll talk about how it affects liberty.

Tell you what. You promise to give your child every thing he or she ever asks for, and perhaps I will see your point.

All I see right now is a child crying that it can't get what it wants and does nothing but whine about it. This same child provides no other reasoning for getting that thing other than "I want it!!!". Sorry, but I'm sure that as any parent worth their title as parent, the child should not always get what they want. The "I deserve it because I want it... and you can't stop me!" argument does not fly, regardless of what you are trying to argue for.
