As always the libertarians claim that legalizing controlled pharmaceuticals will bring a happy tomorrow. Libertarians claim that government control will bring in tax revenue and secure drug purity. Libertarians claim that government legalization will end gangs. The irony is that libertarians hate government intervention and see failure in everything the govenment involves itself in.

I got an idea, let's go back to the "good old days" of US drug policy when our forefathers went to China and the Near East and brought back opium for an awaiting public. Fully 20% of the US population were smack junkies alone. We can regain our trade deficit. We can offset our profit margins. I even concocted an ad tagline: "Don't get shakey: Demand your laudanum tonic!" Or wait, "Get rid of tough migraines: Ask for New Bayer Aspirin with our secret morphinate formula!" Or wait, "Make it a zippy day with New Pepsi Zing. Look for Mr. Methmouth on the label kids." Or a toothpaste ad can say "Oral B Teething Gel with patented fast acting Dentacaine. Now with 25 mgs Dantacaine--up from our 10 mgs from last year." Life will be super as we can drink a 2 liter bottle of Methmouth Pepsi to offset the laudenum sleeping tonic and we can apply Dentacaine to our gums after we drink our Methmouth Pepsi. And we can do all this without doctors' scripts.

Users and dealers: The only ones that want to legalize uncontrolled access to controlled pharmaceuticals. How much will you pay for your freedom to possess addiction slavery? The dealer's market force will decide and the government will tax. And then Utopia will reign.
