Strawman and non sequitur.

Legalization is my proposed cure for prohibition, which is a failed policy.
Prohibition prevents compassionate treatment of drug abusers, and forces
non-compassionate treatment of non-problem users.

I don't see how any of my arguments to this newsgroup have any relation to
low self-esteem or terminal lung cancer (other than I believe those with
terminal lung cancer should be allowed to have whatever drugs they want to
make their last days easier to bear).
