As a rule...Lowering the norms for personal behavior takes away freedom for all. The libertines blab about rights but never obligations.

As part of that percentage that does not use drugs I have rights too so while I can see prosecuting a war on drug use and would certainly fight it differently I’m not the least inclined to surrender.

Yet you refuse to support raising the norms for personal behavior by banning the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol, which is very often used to impair mental ability and judgment.

I don't know about libertines - libertarians recognize the obligation to respect the individual rights of others. What other obligations do you claim that free men have?

As part of that percentage that does not use drugs I have rights too

Which "rights" do you claim would be violated by legality of currently illegal drugs? And how are those "rights" not violated by legality of the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol?

so while I can see prosecuting a war on drug use and would certainly fight it differently I’m not the least inclined to surrender.

Yet you support our surrender in the war on the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol, which is very often used to impair mental ability and judgment.
