Besides, supporting the nanny-state’s prohibitionist un-Constitutional intrusion into matters best decided by the states is not conservative. Yet, here you are.
I get the impression that there are many here at Free Republic, who support marijuana legalization based on being “libertarian” on the issue, and also based on “state’s rights”; that states, not the federal government, should make laws in this area.
I see a partial conflict, in that, if you are “libertarian”, you should also oppose a state restricting marijuana. If you are truly libertarian on the issue, you would leave it up to all individuals to decide whether to use marijuana. It would not be a federal/state law issue, but an issue for which there should be no laws at all.
I think that now that a number of states have legalized recreational marijuana, that pressures will grow to decriminalize the use of other drugs.
That last sentence is bull
I’m intimately familiar with this issue and industry
Zero move,met in that direction
Why not ban alcohol
It’s far worse than pot if you’re actually concerned about dangerous drugs
I’m not a libertarian but I do know weed
I don’t use any drug except punani
That one will sure as hell kill ya

I agree with your last sentence, but disagree that there is any conflict there with a states-right position. It seems to me entirely reasonable for a libertarian (which I don't consider myself, btw) to find state laws preferable to federal laws, while also finding individual liberty preferable to both.
