Wasn't ending Prohibition of the mind-altering drug alcohol a conservative move? Then why not do the same with marijuana?
“Wasn’t ending Prohibition of the mind-altering drug alcohol a conservative move?”
Actually it wasn’t. It was the political left of the time that ended prohibition, although it was widely regarded as a failure. I wonder though given what we spend in fees for incarceration of drunk drivers, increased auto insurance, higher medical costs, etc. whether it was all the victory for liberty that it’s proponents claim.
Mind you I don’t favor prohibition, but to ignore the costs of rescinding it over time is intellectually dishonest.
