Of course it would be regulated and taxed. Essentially the government would become a dope-pusher, interested in hooking more addicts in order to raise revenue.

Or just let Phillip Morris or Bayer sell it over the counter (or maybe at the register with the gum and candy bars), hence legitimizing it in addition to legalizing it. Not sure which would be worse.

I'm a bit rusty on my WOD politics...do libertarians also push legalization as a way to lower drug use, or do they admit that it would only increase drug use and abuse?
