Now, for something I thought of overnight, with apologies to JMJ333 if this is too far off topic.
Assuming you are a pot user, and assuming that you are correct about current drug laws violating your rights, why are you breaking the law to make your point?
I am a home schooler. I recently moved from Texas, where a parent's rights are recognized, to PA, where they are not. I have to jump through a lot of bureaucratic hoops that I believe actually violate my rights. However, I am jumping through those hoops. Why? Because they are the law right now. I am actively helping to change that law using every means necessary, but I am not breaking the law because compliance doesn't harm me except in a philosophical sense. If the law required me to teach my children in a way that I felt would do them harm, then I would violate the law. But I would violate the law to protect my children, not to make some theoretical point about rights. I appeal to people's sense of right when I work to change the law, but I don't provide a problem for them by doing it in a wrong way.
I have a feeling that you will have a hard time appealing to people's sense of right to allow you to do something that is hard to justify, but I urge you to keep trying. But I can not condone your breaking of the law in the mean time. You point out the increased crime while pot is illegal, yet you do your part to help that crime by doing pot with no justifiable reason except that you like it and you believe you should be allowed to smoke it. You are harming our society (while pot is illegal) by your personal choice to smoke pot in the privace of your living room and support the drug kingpins. As a good citizen of our country I urge you to give it up until you are able to change the law.
I would appreciate your answer. If you don't do pot, feel free to answer in the hypothetical. Shouldn't all libertarians stop doing drugs until they can change the law, and wouldn't that help curb the crime problem?
Shalom.
