I do not think of myself as a strict libertarian, for I advocate limited government as opposed to no government at all, an extreme which anarcho-libertarians like Murray Rothbard advocated.
However, I am convinced after all the talk and debate, that at long last we should end the War on Drugs in this country.
It does not keep our streets safer.
It does not prevent people from using. In fact, it adds to the allure of the street culture and entices people to get involved.
It fails to protect users, their friends, and their families from the negative effects of drug use.
It merely subsidizes easily corruptible bureaucracies which either infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens, or enables the production and sale of the very product which they are trying to destroy.
Just Say No to the War on Drugs!
