> are you saying that tobacco and alcohol are also drugs?

Yes.

> Tobacco should also be criminalized and hard liquor restricted

I want to ban crotchetiness.

> Since you haven't tried it, I don't get why such fuss about it

Have you tried every hard drug?

> LSD is irrelevant for the problem of drug addiction and legalization

Yet you still want to ban it.

Over zero or hyperbolic evidence, yes. This is rational.

Also, you’re arguing against argument from authority by arguing for continuing to ban already-banned substances? You’re on the authority’s side!

> Why not? I would consider that a compliment

This is fair, but you shouldn’t have an input on policy. Society is not a misanthropic enterprise.

> useless people

I’ll choose the world with Steve Jobs, Paul Erdõs and Robin Williams over a hardline Sharia vision of humanity.
