It must be recognized that too many people take their personal moral signals from what government declares to be legal or illegal.
Government should have never declared the ingestion of herbs to be an illegal activity. It is a basic aspect of liberty that we each own our own bodies. It would be far better for the headline of this article to say that more states are expected to remove themselves from their futile attempt to regulate this sphere of private life.
Libertarianism would work in a world where everyone is born 30 years old with the life experience of decision making of that age. But we start out as children in a cultural toilet made more sullied buy the “libertine”.
