For me, legalizing drugs is about limiting government. I don’t expect government to keep me safe from my own stupidity. I’m royally tired of the gazillions of agencies running around minding my business. It’s time for it to stop & drug laws are a good place to make it stop.
Sorry if that’s too Libertarian of me.
Will it limit government or expand it? Once it’s legal the taxpayers have to pay for the healthcare, rehab, and welfare of people who indulge. The government will have to establish a huge agency to deal with regulating and taxing these businesses. Plus, the government will have to pay for the drugs for anyone who can’t afford them. George Soros has promoted drug legalization, because he thought it is the ticket to socialized medicine.
