Legalizing pot does not end the war on drugs. It does end any of the things the libertines claim to want an end of. In fact I bet they also want to legalize ALL drugs, they just do not want to say it- they think pot is the low-hanging fruit- they know trying to legalize them all will be a complete failure. They keep it quiet just like they do not want to talk about the age of consent and legalizing incest, they know they won’t fly right now.
I would like to legalize all currently illegal drugs, and then I’d like to provide highly concentrated drugs to dopers for free.
Within about six months, the death rate due to OD’s will taper off, natural selection will have runs it’s course and we’ll be on our way.
The problem today is that we’re all too eager to hamper the process of evolution in the human species. If we make stupidity painful or fatal again, we’ll be rid of the problem in a enduring fashion.
