It’s not the libertarians that are for increased use, it’s America’s beloved fascist police state and deep state agencies. The government needs the drug business. They need the biggest prison system in the world. They need to keep the money laudering banks to keep laundering money to avoid a financial collapse. Politicians need their payoff; so keep the border open to cartels. Sure we have big busts, but that means that the drug flow is even bigger.
Let’s face it , the federal government is practicing a policy of death and imprisonment. They are actively facilitating the illicit drug market. The war on drugs is a war on the people.
