Should we be worried about a medical student with access to drugs with a Libertarian view?

Probably :-) Although, I'm not sure how much of a LP Libertarian I am anymore. I seem to be adjusting some veiws, but most are still annoying Libertarian.

Get used to no sleep. It is the norm for that job these days.

I don't sleep much now. The only way I know that it's possible to make it through med school is, amazingly enough, people seem to keep graduating every year.

For folks to get busted doing drugs, distributing drugs or developing drugs, they have to be less than quiet, so it's their own fault in that regard as well.

All I'm asking for here is a bit of reasonablness. For the same reason I don't feel it should be a crime to sit at home and smoke some weed, I also don't think it should be a crime to grow and give some of your "stash" to your friends - no harm no foul. I would suggest using similar criteria to what we use with alcohol. You make some "home brew," it's not illegal to give some to your friends and enjoy the fruits of your labor. On the other hand selling in any sort of businesslike fashion should require a liscense. Let the communites and states decide the specifics.

Is this really so very out of line?

I joked about the self medicating issue, but I have doctor friends and when they are sick, they do self medicate at times.
When it gets to medicating pain and they get into self-medication, well that is bad! Very bad.

That is the no no!
