Libertarians have always opposed all victimless crimes.

For a crime to be prosecuted, there must be a damaged complainant.

Any damage done by a prohibited drug is self-inflicted by the only person suffering it.

More lives have been ruined by drug possession prosecutions than could ever have been saved by them.

If your political analysis is limited to noticing that libertarians and legalize marijuana people were the same, you should know that libertarians don't want to legalize illicit drugs. Libertarians want to decriminalize drug possession, not turn it into yet another source of tax revenue for the state.

I'm sorry but drugs also ruin the lives or takes an immense emotional and financial toll on those close to the addict.

"If your political analysis is limited to noticing that libertarians and legalize marijuana people were the same..."AGAIN, they were the same crowd a couple of decades ago in the university Libertarian clubs... That's why I wonder IF libertarian clubs still exist on college campuses now pot is pretty much legal. Unless they exist to complain about pot taxes and regs now...

Prosecution of people who have medical problems doesn't resolve the medical problems.

The Covid "vaccines" have caused more misery and death than all of the illicit drugs combined.

You are obviously ignorant of the fact that the marijuana being sold legally is dramatically different than that smoked before legalization. It is more concentrated than the natural plant.

But still safer than alcohol intoxication.
