I don’t want drugs legalized if we all have to pay for addicts’ treatments. It’s like saying get the government out of marriage-when they get out of divorce, custody, alimony then they can get out of marriage. It’s a nice libertarian argument but we are so far down the rabbit hole of post constitutionalism that starting with drug legalization isn’t the best idea

Nor do I. However, just because the federal gov't hasn't banned something, the states are not prohibited from doing as they see best. It won't be "legalized" unless the states want to legalize it. My argument is that it cannot constitutionally be prohibited at the federal level. It is also not constitutional for the federal gov't to make us pay for treatments associated with it.

Perhaps, but I don't want to spend a great deal of time trying to work on "post constitutionalism" solutions that just make us more comfortable in our oppression.
