I already said it's victimless until you get into a position to injure someone else, i.e., operating a motorized vehicle or stealing to get your fix.
The thing is Cheesey, you claim to be anti-big government, but NOTHING is making the government bigger than the War on Drugs. (With the possible exception of the IRS).
I want government out of our lives completely. The hypocrisy of conservatives is just as bad as the hypocrisy of liberals. Both think they can be your parents. Both are wrong, wrong, wrong.
I want to make my own choices. Me, and me alone. I trust me. Not you. Not the government, but me. I just can't possibly see how smoking pot can even be compared to alcohol, which is LEGAL and regulated.
Now harder drugs, I can see the arguments vs alcohol. But not pot. Even with something like cocaine, I've seen paranoid cokeheads, but then I've seen alcoholics who beat their wives and children. I've been at more than one family reunion ruined by a stupid drunk. Which is worse? Alcohol kills something like 120k Americans a year (including driving deaths). Cocaine a very small fraction of that.
And yes, the numbers of people who do cocaine are much higher than you think. I was in a minority of my HS friends who never tried it in one of its many forms.
