Do you really have to be a libertarian to think it's time we legalized marijuana? I don't smoke dope & I don't plan to start if it's legal, but I gotta tell you I am just sick to death of watching billions of our tax dollars every year sink down the rathole of trying to keep everybody else straight & sober. Why should the rest of us have to pay through the nose to keep idiots healthy?

Honestly, I really don't think that makes me conservative or liberal or libertarian - it just makes me a cranky woman who's damn tired of being forced to foot the bill so that our government may serve as a glorified babysitter for my self-destructive fellow citizens.

If this man, of his own free will & volition, chooses to impair his own cognitive function, far be it from me to quibble with him. In fact, I'm thinking that's better for the rest of us in the labor market if we don't have to work as hard competing with people who're zonked out at their desks, scarfing down Cheetos & staring at the pattern of the formica in their cubicle, no?

I have to agree with you though, that any self-described "libertarian" who advocates for taxing it seems to be a little unclear on the concept of the political philosophy he allegedly espouses. This guy sounds more to me like your run-of-the-mill nanny statist liberal who just happens to have a fondness for the sixties.
