Legalize it, tax it and control it just like it’s much more dangerous counterparts, alcohol and tobacco. The amount of police time freed up will be used to catch criminal pushers causing much more danger to society and killing young people (There are no elderly users of Crystal Meth, Angel Dust and PCP). Legalize heroin too, and let people get on a program leading to methadone and release from the deadly scourge of heroin.

Libertarians believe it best to criminalize only those causing a real danger to others.

..or not buying health insurance!

“Legalize it, tax it and control it”

Why must we, too, add the tax part? I mean, I know why radical individual-type libs do it. But why do we act as if expected tax revenue is a justification? I’d rather we tax less things, thanks.

Agree
Criminalize only behavior that substantively
injures other by loss of property
or measurable person injury
