Libertarians have told us for years the only ones getting hurt, if anyone, are the users themselves. That’s why it’s okay to legalize illicit drugs!
Are you series? Is your reasoning really this shallow?
After removing your sarcasm and then employing your "logic", to have any semblance of internal consistency, alcohol should also be banned, especially since it's the worst drug on the face of the Earth, far eclipsing the damage caused by all other drugs combined.
Is that indeed your position, or are you just cherry picking?
In a Free society, people will sometimes abuse their Freedoms.
The way to handle that is to provide stiff penalties when People actually do infringe on someone else's rights, whether under the influence of drugs or not; to educate people on the consequences of their actions; to lead by example; to offer appropriate rehabilitation options; and in general to help create a society where such "escapes" are not sought out so often.
The way not to handle the situation is to employ the utterly failed and Tyrannical policies of the last 100 years or so; to engage in hysterical emotionalism (another tactic of the Left); to engage in unconstitutional shortcuts which trample on unalienable rights; and to let other authoritarians justify their pet Tyranny using the same fallacious logic.
The bottom line is, People who haven't infringed on others' rights don't deserve to face imprisonment for merely possessing the wrong one of God's plants, some medicine, or distilled spirits, against the edicts of the State.
Contraband law is, by its nature, Tyrannical, and hysterical nanny-state Prohibitionists, who seek to manufacture crimes out of thin air (even in the absence of any infringement on someone else's rights) are using the same tactics of the authoritarian Left. As such, they have no basis for complaining when other authoritarians (who similarly don't understand true Liberty) use identical tactics to create their own Tyrannical nanny-state laws.
Totalitarian much?
“Are you series”
Hey genius - learn how to spell. It’s SERIOUS.
When you’ve shown me you’ve moved beyond the sixth grade level, I’ll finish reading your less than literate response to me.
Does your Momma know you use a computer?
