If the drug culture was as widespread in 1963 as it was later in the 60s, I'm sure legalizing drugs would have been added to the list. We see other wonderful liberaltarian ideas among the 1963 Communist goals.

Those of us who advocate legalization recognize the harms drug cause. We wish to pursue a policy of harm reduction. Keeping drugs illegal at federal level promotes central control and continues to make drugs available to our children, something any commie would embrace. The commies never promoted legalization of drugs, it promotes freedom, personal responsibility, and decentralization of government authority.

Which is better to pursue a failed policy that for 35 years has not reduced the availability of drugs to kids or pursuing policies that control drug use for adults while reducing availability to kids? It is a fact that interdiction fails in more than 60% of the cases, some say as high as 90% of drugs still get through. Are there any other failed federal programs that waste that much money that you are in favor of comrade?

Only #24 would the libertarians agree with the communist on.
