I think from previous posts you lean toward decriminalization.
I lean towards laws for treatment not imprisonment of users
prison for only those selling and promoting drug use directly in another human being
for profit, even if in the form of their own drug consumption.

I think clarification of the bolded sentence is in order. How do you pass a 'law for treatment of users'? Are you talking about mandatory rehab?
Do you think that's going to be effective? Would convicted users still have a criminal record under your scenario? Sounds like you want it both ways.

But thanks for reinforcing the problems we have with alcohol because it is legal,
it has been integrated into our society, practiced by many and condoned.

And "appears to be smoking a cig" ... man do you underestimate children
Perhaps you have no idea the effects adults have on children's behavior.

And you have the gall to call other board members antagonistic? The sarcastic trolling and skirting of personal comment rules is as antagonistic as any comments directed to you on this board.

Why do people continue to point out something they believe to be worse
to justify something else that is just as detrimental?
Funny stuff ...
