“You are missing part of the equation. Libertarians would say - government can not and should not control people, so let them take drugs - but let them suffer the consequences too without taxpayers getting involved or creating a nanny state to deal with it. Before long, society (and the family) will take over, as it should (and as it once did) to shun drug use, to stigmatize it, to penalize it, and to let civil society (churches, etc...) deal with those who do. There were few controls on Marijuana in the 1920’s - why did our parents and grandparents know no one who ever smoked it then?”

So the libtardian world only works once every social program is removed? What is your plan to make that happen?

Can you run on that platform and win? Is there a plan that goes farther than smoking lots of dope and...?

So the libtardian...

With an attitude like that, you belong on Huffpo or DailyKos.

So this is about PGR’s drug love. Maybe we should look at alcohol and legalize it. Oh, we did. You’ll note it is still going strong and harming people.

People don’t get wasted in a closet,
then come out harmless. Addictions havefar reaching affects. It is no less harmless than DUI.
I have connections with 12 step people and groups. One thing i learned from them is that drugs and alcohol are pure evil.

As BEAGLE says, you needed a bigger cause than dope love.
