Drug legalization

An excellent conservative idea, whether or not you'd use them yourself.

of course...

our culture needs more poison in the system,

it’s important to send the message that being out of your mind relieves you of any responsibility,

and as long as there are some poisons available, let’s promote an ever expanding array of poisons with which to undermine ambition and productivity.

nice.....very “conservative”.....

Drug legalization is NOT a conservative idea. It is a libertarian and liberal idea. It is a bad idea!

Actually a libertarian idea, not a conservative one. The precedent for this dates back to the nation's first president and the Whiskey Rebellion, and runs through Lincoln who stated that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. If you are for pot legalization on strict constitutional terms, than you must also be for no regulations on drugs. Therefore heroin and methamphetamine should be legal, even on school grounds if you are being consistent.

It never ceases to amaze me how many truly benighted individuals there are out there that think "drug legalization" is a good conservative idea.

Move to North Philadelphia for a few years and see if you still think that's the case. Legal or illegal, drugs are a scourge and drug users have a huge blast radius that affects scores of people around them.
