You do hold the classic Libertarian position: “We favor the repeal of all laws creating “crimes” without victims, such as the use of drugs for medicinal or recreational purposes.” (Libertarian party platform)

That is only one Libertarian Party position for one thing. For another the Libertarian Party is not a very consistent reflection of classic libertarian views. More importantly, to me, creating criminal codes for victimless crimes is antithetical to the founding principles our Founding Fathers fought so hard, in war and in counsel, to make the law of our land.

Our fundamental disagreement is, I don’t believe drug abuse is a victimless crime.

I won’t repeat the stories and examples I’ve already posted in this thread.

Just to say, if I believed drug abuse was victimless, I would agree with you.
