Your point illustrates why we need to invade Mexico.
The WOD is no less serious than the WOT.
It amazes me that Libertarians are hard up to fight one war, but are all too eager to surrender on the other.
Okaaaaaay....
Invade mexico?
This is the level of the WOD crowd...
If we would arrest the millions of white, middle and upper middle class Americans pot would be legal tomorrow. we continue our charade because mostly minorities are arrested, so ‘no problemo”. The hypocrisy allows us to continue to pretend that weird, degenerate stoned hippies and n’er do well minorities use pot or cocaine or ( heaven forbid, Rx drugs).
While it makes some Americans feel morally superior decrying the damage pot does...it sure is interesting how no one is calling for prohibition of alcohol or mass arrests of middle class “drug” users. So why not just stay in your cocoons/ why look at real statistics and outcomes? why would we even want to compare legal Rx drugs abuse, the ravages on society with alcohol use and the costs of cigarette ‘s being legal?
Now...before you post a flame telling me to ‘get back to your bong” or ‘you need more recovery’ or “just another immoral libertarian.”....I don’t drink or use drugs, yet still am totally against the FAILED WAR ON DRUGS.
I don’t know about invading Mexico, might well be worse than Iraq and Afghanistan put together. That being said, Libertarians believe that it isn’t the Federal Government’s ROLE or responsibility. I believe they want it legalized so that it can be regulated like any other drug, and studied, and appropriately USED like anything else.
If the Fed isn’t going to go after Pot Traffickers any longer, it HAS to be regulated, or we end up with violent Mexican drug cartels living in the National forests. THAT would be BAD. Far worse than it is today.
Another reason to get rid of the WoSD. Are you seriously advocating the invasion of Mexico by the US . . . just to stop people froom enjoying a bong hit every now and then?
