Just because you don't have an answer, doesn't make it a trick question. As a matter of fact, there's an entire so-called political party out there RELYING on some sort of information that hundreds of thousands are behind bars for smoking pot. Yet no one can provide that information.
That's something you can call silly...
I don't dispute you on this. As I said, I am not a Libertarian and think they are stupid for making this the centerpiece of their political efforts.
The reason I said it is a trick question is that the law centers around possession, not the act of smoking. From what I've seen of the discussion it is a bunch of tit for tat nonsense.
If the point of this thread is to discuss the idiocy of contemporary Libertarianism even that is next to useless. The party has no political clout and, at this rate, never will. I can't see spending time arguing about useless stuff.
Every time I think I might be interested in Libertarianism based upon their 'anti-statist' plank, as soon as I investigate I find 'pro-life' Libertarians or other such foolishness and realize that these people can't even see the contradictions in their own ranks. They are useless.
My only point is that the draconian nature of our current drug laws does huge amounts of damage to innocent people. Of this I can have no doubt, even if you do. The current wave of people being released on DNA evidence that proves they did not commit the rape or murder they were convicted of years ago gives me pause. The justice system as it is today is no longer objective. Drugs laws are just the worst example.
