Start with Ron Paul and work your way to Stossel. Go to their web site and read what they are for. Legalizing drugs is right up there. If it were legal, don't you think many would plant and harvest everything from weed to opium for free? Are you dumb enough to believe we will "tax" it and make some money? I've heard that all my life. All over the US they are growing it in the woods. in planters, and in basements all for free. It's just illegal. I'm sure what killed Whitney Houston was all just fine for a libertarian. It's her body after all.
I've seen the pain and death that comes with drugs and it cannot be controlled by the average person. I'm 60 and have had friends make the same old argument about pot and are dead now after a life of misery and losing custody of their kids, car wrecks, burned down homes, lung cancer, you name it. They are all just whacked out morons that can't stop taking dope. Each one makes the excuse, it's just a little weed, right before they lose another part of their lives. Libertarians just say that they should have the right to do whatever they want. Tell that to the kids and parents of these wacko's.
Oh, and PS, I've heard all the alcohol arguments too. Just drive down the nearest highway and count the crosses. All those people had rights too.
Prohibitions really work out well. Were you in favor of the war on alcohol? How the DC/Chicago prohibition on guns. It really comes down to who owns your body. You or the state? When government prohibits behavior that its core is not criminal, all sorts of unintended consequences come about. Like drug gangs, strung out junkies, etc. Seems to me that by advocating prohibition, knowing the harm it will cause, you are creating the next Al Capone or Pablo Escobar.
legal does not equal free, that’s how dumb I am.
