I have personnally argued for the legalization of marijuana under the
pretext that it be regulated.  Somehow though, I believe
that "regulation" would result in government "regulation", something
like alchohol or tobbacco products to ensure safety.  Therefore, I
feel a bit hypocritical in arguing for the right to choose to smoke
marajuana as a personnal freedom, but under the direction of Big
Brother.  DOes this contradiction make sense?  I believe it is partly
libertarian and partly anti-libertarian I suppose.

Thanks for the reply.
