If you couple legalization with ending medicaid, hospitals charging paying customers twice as much to pay for non payers, have a flat income tax, get rid of the earned income tax credit, then I am ok with legalization.

Using one violation of rights as a justification for another violation of rights is not a conservative argument. Not to mention the fact that many drug users cost you precisely nothing and so should not have their liberties restricted because of what OTHER users cost you.

Although staytrue's arguement is valid, it does not change my opinion regarding legalization (i'm for it)

Welfare states encourage addiction since they try to allieviate the consequences of bad "choices". The welfare state and the WOD are joined together at the hip; both must go!

Welfare is a liberty now? We're screwed.
