Perhaps, but they must be few and far between, because I've never had one agree with me that keeping drugs illegal is a good thing.

I'll bet 9 out of 10 Libertarians oppose legalizing the hard drugs such as meth or cocaine, and even marijuana shouldn't be legalized fully, just the penalties reduced.

If this is truly your yard-stick for what should or shouldn't be legal, then we should legalize murder since the policy against murder doesn't seem to be working.

Ah, the classic apples-and-oranges comparison. As Libertarians support the repeal of draconian drug laws they'll also demand that abusers pay for their own treatment instead of taxpayers. Which solution do you prefer, the kick-down-the-door failure of a WOD or letting Darwin work its magic?

Could be, but it sure doesn't appear that way with the ones I've talked with. But even if they only want the 'soft' drugs legalized, I'd still be in disagreement.

just the penalties reduced.

Another point of disagreement.

Ah, the classic apples-and-oranges comparison.

Not at all. You implied that the 'war on drugs' should be stopped because it hasn't been successful. The same can be said for the 'war on murder.'

I prefer to keep drug sale and use illegal, and I prefer that those laws be enforced.
