For example I would offer that it's in the best interest of the country to ban something that is in the worst interest of the country. For example if we had a communist power develop a drug that would make our citizens lazy and unproductive then nobody would argue that we should allow this power to freely distribute this drug in the United States. There would be no hew and cry about "states rights"

Excellent post!

If we didn’t have a system, a racket, a group crime done by criminals that we have now, that takes money at the point of a gun from working people of all stripes and delivers it to layabouts, scammers, dopes, druggies, slothful, slatterns and their government paid minions.....those people would starve.

Drugs are self punishing, if left alone.

Government ASSISTS druggies.

Stop the taxes. Stop the assistance, handouts, clinics, half way homes, payments, food stamps and the ‘drug problem’ will end it’s self naturally. One way or another.

If this is too harsh, you are of course free to spend YOUR money, and YOUR time by taking in these individuals.

I don’t want any government power for hardly any reason. I don’t care if little blond Swedish girls are doing meth and the Brooklyn Youth Sports league for needle money.

But, what I would totally support is private property rights restrictions. I, 100% support private business having, if they choose, drug testing. Ditto land lord rights.

Don’t like it, don’t rent, don’t work there.

Further I support private communities. For instance, Florida has tons of private, gated communities that are the size of towns. They have their own schools(sort of ) police, fire, water departments.

I support what ever drug, lawn cutting, color house covenants that you agree to abide by.

Another think. If the government, which is the high cost, low quality, late deliver of services and goods, got out of the way, private enterprise would fill the bill.

For instance. Why do you think so many old Main Streets have bums and such, and Malls do not? Because malls are private and can expel who every they want. Government although taking huge taxes either won’t or doesn’t.

Same with private schools. A kid acts up, he’s out.

So, in my more libertarian, property rights world, would druggies be gone? No, but there would be a lot less places for them to exist in. Further, I wouldn’t be taking money from waitress, truck drivers, small business men to support the existence of druggies and so that the druggie assistance industry( also know as government workers ) had a nice full benefits, pensioned, no heavy lifting jobs.

Let me ask you this.
Is it in the financial interest of government druggie workers to ‘solve’ the problem? Or is it in their interest to, as the union guys say, ‘not kill the job’?
