BTW, I do not believe, any longer, that marijuana should be illegal.
I do not like or respect illicit drug users but I no longer believe the government has a right or need to restrict marijuana....they can tax it like everything else.
Were most (if not all) presently banned drugs were brought back into the purview of physicians, the related murders and assaults would vastly decrease, as would the restless search for more and more bizarre highs from things just outside of the reach of the law’s definition. But America has painted itself into a prohibitionist corner and won’t be able to get back out without some messy tracks being made. It’s a liberal fallacy, not a conservative ideal, that everything morally objectionable has to be banned.
Spoken like a true Libertarian.
