Oh, look. A libertarian, who is really just a fake liberal.
And you are a authoritarian posing as a conservative.
I’m just a person who has realized that the iron fist of a government crackdown only benefits the drug kingpins and the politicians they own. You do realize that from the time this country was founded until about 1913 there were no laws regarding the recreational use of drugs, don’t you? If we didn’t need them for the first 130 odd years, why do we need them now? It used to be that if a person wanted to ruin their life with drugs, we let them. Now we jail them instead and cost the taxpayers billions every year. Did you also know that the original 1913 anti-drug laws were declared unconstitutional in the 1930s? When FDR objected he threatened to load the Supreme Court with enough new yes men that he could have anything he wanted declared constitutional or unconstitutional. So Congress passed a new law just as unconstitutional as the old one and it was allowed to stand.
What turned me around is the government’s use of “civil forfeiture” to literally steal private citizens’ property for the mere SUSPICION that the property was purchased with mone from the sale of drugs. Think it only happens to drug dealers? Just googe “civil forfeiture” and read the horror stories where people’s life savings were stolen by the government because they chose to travel with large amounts of cash. And there are hundreds of banking laws whose sole purpose is to catch someone in the drug trade. I’m sick of an overbearing iron-fisted, nanny government who thinks that they know better how to run people’s lives than the individual.
