Talking points that you picked up at a Libertarian Party/Ron Paul Forums/Cato "stink tank" Institute website isn't "making your point".

Are you like Ron Paul and believe that crack cocaine and heroin should be made legal?

But I'm still waiting for you to acknowledge your folly when you said that drugs were deemed illegal because of the trend away from the church that happened in the '60s.
The Harrison Act of 1914 made hard drugs illegal.

The Cultural Revolution of the 1960's promoted sexual promiscuity, abortion, and the so-called "freedom" to get hiiiiigh; turning our society away from traditional morality.

So now that we've gone over our history lesson, support your case for the legalization of recreational drugs.

Scripture speaks against recreational drug use, but being that you're most likely an atheist, let's not bring God into our discussion.

It's not getting high that is the reason for being locked up, it's the behaviors that go with drug abuse that get's people locked up.

Domestic violence and Substance Abuse.
http://www.choosehelp.com/living-wit...amily-violence

http://www.drug-alcohol-addiction-re...-violence.html

To be more specific:

•One-third to two-thirds of child maltreatment cases involve substance use to some degree.
•Children whose parents abuse alcohol and other drugs are three times more likely to be abused and more than four times more likely to be neglected than children from non-abusing families.
•As many as two-thirds of the people in treatment for drug abuse reported being abused or neglected as children.

Isn't there a pageant going on for "Wife #4" that you should be attending Newt?

Sorry Buckwheat, that is just not historically correct. Drug addiction was widespread at the turn of the 20th Century [that's the 1900's for you ghetto dwellers]. That's when heroin and cocaine were made illegal by an act of Congress.

So your contention that Americans were wholesome churchgoers that didn't start doing drugs until the 1960's is nothing more than stupid revisionism [and easily proven wrong] created in a dimly little corner of your tiny, uniformed little brain.

Does it matter, the fact is that it has changed dramatically.

Provide a source. Of course it was a problem (not afflicting families like it is today), if it wasn't, laws wouldn't have been passed outlawing them.

Or was the outlawing of hard drugs an Illuminati conspiracy?

We can discuss the effect the cultural revolution of the 1960's had on traditional morality if you like.

But since we're on the topic of recreational drug legalization:

MAKE YOUR CASE FOR IT.

No ... but then again, child molesters should be sentenced to the DP rather than wasting space in a prison cell.

Do you both think that drug dealers have high morals and don't sell to children?

Drug abuse is a form of child molestation, and those who sell it to them are the molestors.
