Question for Libertarians: With respect to drug legalization, do you still feel that good intentions don't matter and that advocates of the legalization of all drugs should take responsibility for its destructive consequences, or do you now feel that only the drug addict's mother, wife, husband, children, neighbors, and society at large are responsible for the drug addict's self destruction, wasted life, and burden upon the nation?

Interesting. In your question, you let me choose anyone but the drug user to bare the responsibility. Why is that?

To illustrate a truth by using an absurd, false choice. Of course the drug user should bare the responsibility. Libertarian policies would reward the drug user by decriminalizing to legalizing his activities, and punish all those associated with him by magnifying the societal damage done by unchecked, undiscouraged, drug trafficking and usage.
