I consider myself more libertarian than a Republican, and I think those making a profit should be severely punished, death penalty IMO. Those using, should be punished by a caning like in Singapore.

What part of libertarian philosophy allows individuals to commit assault and battery on other individuals who did them no harm, and then murdering other individuals for engaging in voluntary economic transactions? Is this some breakaway sect of libertarianism?

I am not a member of the Libertarian party, and borrow from different philosophies. Tell me how in this real world, the decriminalization of drugs is going to happen? They won't, maybe pot moved to a different class, but other than that, it will NEVER be legal to use or sell drugs in this country. With that said, what will lessen the costs in lives and monies, and protect society? If someone wants to make their own crank, or grow coca, pot or opium, and even use it, make it a non crime. Once someone begins to make a profit, governments proper response is to control that action.
