Blowing/measuring 0.07 won't necessarily free you. Shoddy testing won't necessarily free you. Passing a barrage of carnival games won't necessarily free you.
Paying thousands to the politicians, courts, county, state, lawyers, and insurance companies may free you.
Some want to see BAC lowered to 0.03, mandatory breathalyzers in cars (with no priors), and “bar workers” (including entertainers) held to a 0.01 BAC standard.
Demonizing alcohol and tobacco does drug libertarians no favors but still they do it.
“Demonizing alcohol and tobacco does drug libertarians no favors but still they do it.”
I can see how you think they’re demonizing that, but it really seems like they’re just trying to illustrate hypocrisy. We’ve got “government approved drugs” that are just as nasty, if not worse than some of the “illegal drugs” that we are spending billions trying to stamp out, apparently quite futilely.
“Where do you stand in the “war on drugs””
I am absolutely against for a multitude of reasons
1. It has turned the US into a Police State
2. We have lost more liberty and freedoms precisely because of the Drug War.
3.The Drug War is an abysmal failure, there is still 10-15% of the population that still gets high on something. right where it was when the War on Drugs Started
4. Prohibition of ANYTHING has Never worked in all of recorded history.
5.All “Illegal Drugs” combined kill about 25k people annually, Pharmacists KILL 150K per year by dispensing the WRONG PRESCRIPTION, Alcohol kills 600-800k every year, Tobacco another 500k, Doctors Kill about 200k patient per year on ACCIDENT.
All the War on Drugs has accomplished is Making a lot of criminals and greatly expanded government and the Police State. Do you feel safer now than say in the 60’s and early 70’s before the drug war started ramping up?? Take a good look around and tell me how much of a success it has been.
