I already did state that I disagree with the war on it, criminalization is just stupid and costly. It should just be treated like cigarettes as far as I'm concerned.
If the government doesn't curtail some individual freedoms, then individuals will. So you pick between an accountable government to protect everyone from everyone, or letting anyone do absolutely anything they want. It's the principle where everyone's freedom "stops where others' start". To disagree with the government's duty to curtail some individual liberties is to oppose the prohibition of criminal acts. Look at countries where the government is too weak to curtail individual freedoms: warlords do it instead. Usually quite brutally.
