"and it hasn’t stopped either the use of existing illegal drugs or the development of new ones"
Hasn't even slowed it down, even though it has destroyed thousands of lives needlessly. Maybe millions.
Drug Warriors are enemies of liberty and would have jailed George Washington for growing hemp. For 25 years.
I've had it with them and their kind.

"legalize and tax rape, murder, child molestation and kiddie porn while you are at it"
Only an idiot would equate smoking a joint to the above violent crimes.
Do you believe the crimes to be equivalent? Do you believe we jail those who smoke pot?

t legalizing and taxing drugsI do always find it a little amusing when Libertarians discover something they think should be taxed.

And I point out that YOU adhere to the far leftist extremes of political thought because you accept the same legal reasoning that made cannabis illegal, but which also reasoned that abortion on demand was legal. Are you so intractable that I need to explain how the bastardizing of the commerce clause of our Constitution by our courts has done more to create the kind of State that you rail against then someone smoking pot could ever do. Your stance is the liberal stance. It is not the Constitution that you want to conserve. You are the enemy of freedom and I hunt wannabe warrior wolfs as you call yourself on your homepage...who think it is their job to protect the “sheep” as you so plainly think of others in the writings on your homepage. Many fascist pelts hanging in my barn.

One of the effects that the drugs have on you guys is that you start seeing straight America as fascists and bad guys.
I hope you get some intervention before it is too late.
