“Some guy once said that libertarianism is the heart of conservatism. I believe it was Reagan. “

Reagan was pretty tough on drugs

We should all be tough on drugs, they are poisoning our culture. By libertarianism I think Reagan was advocating keeping government as small and unobtrusive as possible while still doing the things that we need done.

For instance we don't need 3 or 4 layers of government regulating the same thing. If something can be handled at the state level we don't need the feds butting in.
Things should be handled at the lowest level. The government should not be involved in running family level issues. I don't need them telling me what I should eat, how to flush the toilet, etc.

Organized crime syndicates are pushing the drugs and we need to respond to them in a way that only the federal government can.
