If you want less government, then you should fight to retain what remains of our foundational culture.

You just made a big mistake on that one. Our foundational culture never placed anyone in jail for being a drug user. Infact drugs existed back in the very good ol days like they do now. Morphine was sold in bottles legal for all in every single general store across america. Now I do not believe you can compare THC to being as nasty a drug like Morphine but you get my point.

The idea of outlawing drugs like morphine, booze and other products is a very new one to our nation not an old one.

The problem is that we never paid for addicts to live a life of being a drug user in the days of the early republic.Most Americans stayed away from those items because of quite a few reasons however the most important is that they would die from them quite early because of no government welfare or programs to keep them on legal drugs with taxpayer money like we have now.

The problem with some libertarians is that they believe that drugs should be legal and then taxed to fund more government programs. I believe drugs should be legal without a tax and no treatment for addicts. Put the orignal danger back into drugs. You know early death and let the problem weed itself out over two or three years.

Libertarians who want drugs to be legal and then taxed for more social welfare programs are dealing with two large problems. Making the government your drug dealer and growing government by keeping addicts alive to fund itself.
