For the record...I'm not opposed to Libertarianism in general as I am a staunch believer in limited government. But I do believe the legalize drug platform is a loser from the start. Just my .02¢.

The problem with the legalized drug platform is that libertarians usually include all drugs. Well, I guess they are being consistent but yes, when it's presented that way it is a loser. But like it or not, I really do think that marijuana will eventually be legal - hell, seniors smoke it now. It may not happen in my lifetime but I don't see the drug warriors being any more successful than they have in the past on that one. And when it comes to Mexico, I think you are going to hear more and more people say - Grow here, grow now! ;-)

I had a recent request from one of my tenants who asked for permission to smoke weed in his unit even though he signed a rental agreement that states clearly NO SMOKING. I own very nice rentals and do not allow smoking. He agreed to that when he signed. Now he wants the rules changed so he can smoke his 'medicinal marijuana'. I told him the no smoking policy was firm and that was that. He later asked if I would object to his consuming marijuana by other means. I told him I'm not oppose to weed (even though I have never used it) and if he wants to get high to relieve his pain (or whatever) then I would not be opposed even though technically, doing so would violate the part of the agreement pertaining to breaking the law.

So I'm not opposed to marijuana use, heck, I like Rum. But the Libertarians, as you say, want to legalize all drugs. That's just lunacy. This was addressed at last evening's GOP debate and Paul looked like a fool for having his position. Reason 109 to NOT vote for Ron Paul.
