More evidence that if you can afford drugs, you’re much more likely to become an addict. Why again do the libertarians want to legalize this poison, increasing the available supply and lowering the price?

“Why again do the libertarians want to legalize this poison, increasing the available supply and lowering the price?”

1. There is no Constitutional authority for the Feds to make it illegal.

2. Making it illegal inevitably creates a flourish in black market run by really, really bad people.

3. Laws can’t change human nature. A certain percentage of the population will ingest mind altering substances regardless of its legality.

4. Legalizing it will actually make it more difficult for minors to obtain it.

Those will do for a start.

To take the profit out of drugs. Take the corruption out of drug funded politicians.

Legalize drugs. Give them away free. No profit in the drug trade, no drug crime. Simple.

The war on drugs has failed. Miserably.

Spend the money on therapy. Counseling.

Because it is a God given instinct / right to seek relief from pain sickness and misery.

Govt dictating what when and how is tyrannical.

Why again do tyrants want to control others? For our own good? Are ya here to help?

So the wealthiest among us have the highest rates of drug addiction?

Do you have any stats to back that up?
