I'm not a fan of drugs.

However ...

If the GOP came out and said that had a three part strategy:
1) Abolish the IRS and replace it with a Fair Tax
2) Further diminish the oppressive power of the government by SERIOUSLY cutting budgets and trimming social spending
3) Taking a very liberal view on illegal drugs

I think that would be hugely popular.

If people mess up their lives with drugs, they should be on their own. The nanny state might (possibly) have sufficient resources to care for widows and orphans, but people who can't hold a job because they like to get high? Let them die in an alley. It's none of my business.

Or mine. They can drink themselves to death too for all I care. I beat my obsession to drink twenty-five years ago.
