The context of DL's statement was the argument of "freedom". He said that we should allow all sorts of actions that we currently outlaw ("pedophilia, heroine use, cocaine use, etc") because we would be more free without such laws.

It made sense to me. He wasn't saying that smoking pot has the same level of impact on others as pedophilia, rape, murder, or hard-drug use, but that if the argument for legalizing marijuana is centered around more freedom, the same can be said about all kinds of activities that are currently illegal.

Still not the same as weed does no hard and the law makes no sense while the other listed make sense and were not put in place because some rich guy got scares he might lose his money

You are correct about my intent, Foo. Only you said it MUCH better. Thanks!
