Stoner logic suffers from serious lack of nuance regarding punishment.

For the last time, I did not defend Muslims who perform "honor killings." I was comparing Muslim "honor killings" to draconian prison sentences (up to and including execution) for drug dealers/users, which are both bad things in my opinion.
Just because I think Muslims have a "right" to perform honor killings in their own countries (i.e. the U.S. shouldn't send troops in to stop them from doing it) doesn't mean I'm "defending" the practice.
You and Leonard are taking my words out of context. I do not "defend" or "support" Muslim honor killings. I was clearly comparing honor killings (and the idea of jailing women who have premarital sex) to draconian drug laws, which are all bad things in my opinion.

What do you mean by this? I am okay with people mocking and refusing to associate with drug users. I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Leonard started a thread asking whether libertarianism stems from a severe lack of masculinity, and Rob Banks' argumentation style supports that generalization.
You should check out what I actually wrote in that thread before making generalizations like that.
Just because I don't support drug prohibition doesn't mean I'm some lefty modern libertarian. I don't even call myself a "libertarian" because of what that word has come to mean.
If "libertarianism" (i.e. belief in freedom and minimal government) stemmed from a severe lack of masculinity, then I suppose the U.S. Founding Fathers must have really lacked masculinity.
There's no way of knowing what the Founding Fathers would have thought of modern drug policy, but they were definitely quite "libertarian" (as defined above) for their time, and they certainly didn't lack masculinity.
The word "libertarian" has been tainted by cucks who voted for Gary Johnson, hate Trump, and think "freedom" means open borders, gay acceptance, and child transsexualism.
