I wrote ‘libertarian’, not ‘Libertarian.” I believe fed govt should defend the country and otherwise leave us alone. If that defense is proactive, so be it. As for the horror of letting people get high, if that’s the only reason you can think of that justifies concentrating power into a national government, you have to wonder how the Republic survived until 1930.
Easy. It did not pick up the tab for the results back then. Not like today.
I am not saying there are not shining examples of those who hold a job, do their stuff, and live a relatively normal life, but there is a lot of disfunction out there we all end up paying for. YMMV.
One more thing, though. I do not think it should be a federal deal, but a state/local one. Once the borders are secure, y'all are down to homegrown, anyway.
