It is a straw man, the substances have absolutely nothing in common other than being categorized as illegal drugs.
I don't expect the position to be popular, but it is ironic that the supposed party of personal freedom and small government has the exact opposite stance on recreational drug use.

You want to legalize hard drugs...

It will never happen, but that is my position on principal. Off topic discussion though.

You want addiction to hard drugs to be covered as a normal medical condition...

No, I want possession and use not to be treated as a crime, and addiction to be categorized as a medical condition like alcoholism. This has nothing to do with insurance.

Don't ****ing whoa me dude... I don't know if you just didn't think through what you were saying given your past stances here or what...

Yes, it's been thought through and quite honestly, I don't think you have a good grasp of my stances or views. This isn't the first time you've miscategorized me.
