“Marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol. If you support the legalized sale of alcohol, libertarian or not, you have no grounds to criminalize marijuana. “
The problem I’ve had with all of it is the enormous cost to us for the so-called “war on drugs.” Government should butt out of the crazy, unlawful raids and such where innocent people die, and they should also be out of the “help” business for people who abuse either alcohol or drugs. That will leave us folks with having to deal with whatever transpires as a result, but all of it has been a huge waste of effort apart from what is done to stop the entry of hard drugs into this country. People who abuse drugs and alcohol should be on their own, because only then will they come to the realization of how tragic these two intoxicants are.
I deal with “the homeless” here in CA in connection with commercial property. It is a huge problem, but in watching people on security cameras for the best part of a year, I have only seen one instance where it appeared that drugs were being used, and it wasn’t MJ, it was “injectables!” And I can also say that the people we have the cops remove are nearly all white, young, and well-dressed for the most part. We have had to eliminate outside electrical outlets because they are used to charge up personal electronics, and now with winter arriving, electric blankets. They appear to just be a bunch of aimless people wandering around with backpacks.
