right. drug war is evil, ergo legal sanction of drug use is good.

Prostitution, too, right?

A libertarian is a liberal without a conscience.

So where does the Constitution delegate authority to fedgov to impose national prohibition, in your personal opinion?

A drug warrior is a nazi, except without a conscience.

A libertarian is a liberal without a conscience.

Your unintelligible intellect shines through so clearly.

On your FR homepage, you claim to love von Mises...yet it's quite clear you've never read one lick of his works...

For if the majority of citizens is, in principle, conceded the right to impose its way of life upon a minority, it is impossible to stop at prohibitions against indulgence in alcohol, morphine, cocaine, and similar poisons. Why should not what is valid for these poisons be valid also for nicotine, caffein, and the like? Why should not the state generally prescribe which foods may be indulged in and which must be avoided because they are injurious?
Ludwig von Mises, Liberalism: The Classical Tradition

So put that in your jack boot licking pipe, and smoke up.

Actually,a libertarian just wishes to allow the invisible hand of the market to work in all spheres of commerce.

How pompous is it to imagine that the state can control the selling of ones body or to presume that making drugs illegal will make the market disappear.

We did not have illegal drugs until the progressives got some outlawed in the early 20th century. The WOD is another progressive “gift” to the country.
