This is always the response of detractors.. It's just very easy for a Libertarian to use the WOD as ammunition to how big government screws EVERYTHING up...

Huh, there was no big government back in 19th century China when opium devastated Chinese society.

Oh that's right, you are a Harry Browne worshipper. So you are pining for the days when any 10 year old during the early 20th century could walk into any pharmacy and buy heroin laced aspirin off the shelf, never mind.

They can buy it today in there school... You see my point, it's worthless to waste our money on it this way.. If they were legal, we could have age limits similar to alcohol... Talk to a kid you know, ask them which is easier to get, alcohol or pot..

Only a Dane could equate 19th Century colonial China and its social ills with the present day US.
