And lets not forget that Libertarians want all drug laws overturned so they can all get legally stoned.

It’s true. It’s in their Party Platform.

Well....that's certainly not what I want. But......I would be in favor of addicts buying their (discounted) drugs at Walgreen, Thrifty and Rex-All instead of the "Bloods" and the "Crips"...... Wouldn't you? At least they wouldn't be forced to break and enter, acquiring fenceable goods to sell to support their habit.

We will never learn the lesson of Prohibition which spawned the involvement of organized crime in the booze business and helped secure it a permanent foothold in our society. We have done the same thing with illicit drugs and wonder why there's a pusher on every school corner.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize.....if something is illegal there are Gazallions of dollars in profit to be made.......because of the risk. Take a poll. Ask how many drug dealers and pushers if they would like to see the drug laws repealed. You won't find a one!

Do you think using the Commerce Clause to outlaw marijuana within the borders of a state is in keeping with its original understanding?

Fixed it for you.

This is part of the hyperbole that is used against Libertarians. Most of us don't give a damn about drugs, don't use them, and don't have them as a part of our lives. This is the typical tactic of the person(s) who have no intelligent answer to the argument.

Don't get caught up in it.

Incidentally, that plank says nothing about getting stoned, and it applies only to consenting adults.
