Some do, some don't. I am convinced that many if not most liberdopians just want to have risk-free cheap drugs for themselves, and to have their messes cleaned up by the taxpayer just as happens with most alcoholics now. They justify and rationalize the behavior through the simple psychological defense mechanism of denial. Like alcoholics, they refuse to admit that they are or ever will be irresponsible in the use of addictive psychoactive substances. The plight of other drug abusers doesn't even register on their radar screens. They just don't see themselves as drug abusers with addiction problems despite all the objective evidence to the contrary.
That addictive mindset accounts for their obsession with dope and dope legalization issues 24/7.
Then there are the tee-totalling atomistic social-autistic libertarians who don't use drugs and never will use drugs (we will have to take their word on that for now) but who rage like brute animals against illusory statist chains on their behavior. The mere thought that there are state-imposed risks attached to their indulging in destructive behavior they have no intention of ever indulging in and have never indulged it, drives them absolutely nuts. They hate the state, they hate taxes, they hate public roads, they hate libraries, they hate most of their neighbors, they hate other people in general, but they hate themselves most of all for being such miserable and nasty little cretins. In their ideal world social darwinism is king. Drug abusers, including themslves, can die and go to hell. In fact, all of society can die and go to hell; their small comfort being the fleeting bitter solace they get from sucking on the pacifier of social isolation and the strict avoidance of even the least shared social responsibility.
There are a few responsible, clear-thinking, non-dysfunctional pro-dope libertarians out there. They are just naive and have yet to subject their ideology to intelligent scrutiny.
Thanks for confirming yet again that while freedom-lovers have facts and logic, Drug Warriors have only personal attacks.
Or how about their family? How would they feel about a 14 sister who is lured to addiction by an older boy friend? Of course it will be illegal for 14 year olds to possess heroin even after legalization. But after legalization drugs will proliferate far more than today. Look how prevalent gambling is now that it's legal. Far more gaming addicts than 20 years ago.
I agree with all your points especially the "social Darwinism" factor for these cruel libertarians. This is the silly and stupid cruelty of Nietzsche that some juvenile minds latch onto. All one needs to know about Nietzsche is the kind of life he lead. There is no religion that is Nietzsche inspired except for Satanism and some paganisms.
Hard drugs are evil, Satanic. Most definitely there is a tie in between hard drugs and evil. Hard drug users are often possessed by evil sprits. Aliester Crowley shot heroin. Members of Led Zeppelin dabbled in Crowley's teachings once their brains got drug damaged. In fact Jimmy Page bought Crowley's house.
That addictive mindset accounts for their obsession with dope and dope legalization issues 24/7.
A valid point. The bozo named Leroy posted only about drugs as of 2 weeks ago. Now 47 out of 50 of his posts are about drugs. Some of the other dopetarians post about many topics.
