Well it doesn’t have to be heavily taxed if the people don’t want it to be, does it?
But now that’s a problem with everything in general, isn’t it? And the Government taxes it anyway.
How about just reducing the Government to much less power than it has over your lives now...in as many ways as possible. Do you agree with me there?
So why can this not be one of them? The government freqently uses this War on Some Drugs as an excuse to deprive you of rights and seize your assets unjustly.
That is a transgression on the very basis of our ideals.
Prime example - look at what happened to this guy in FL in the name of the WoSD.

That is merely the local authorities who have been given the power to brazenly destroy someone’s life.
Would you not argue at the very least that we should strip the FedGov of such authority immediately?
Now THERE'S a plan, LOL.
I would argue that the federal government be stripped, once more, of its power to directly tax the People and be required to REQUEST (not demand) revenue through the Several States. I would also task the states to ensure that no monies went to FedGov beyond the minimum amount required to do their CONSTITUTIONAL duties.
But beyond that, the States themselves should be deprived of any authority to regulate private, consensual behavior. Public behavior MAY be regulated at the local level.
(Oh, and repealing the Welfare State would ALSO be high on my priorities list!)
