Ok so I want to address the elephant in the policy room.
Let me explain why a libertarian (contra to mythology) is not open slather in favor of all drugs being legalized.
Basic principles “you should be free to do that ever you want as long as you don’t hurt anyone else”
An example of Hurting someone else in the context of drugs could be, a Drunk who drinks all the family’s money and does not care for their kids. – in this case it may be appropriate to limit this persons freedoms – for example placing them on a Cashless dole card – but a libertarian would trust everybody else until there is hard evidence of harm to others. So both Scomo and Albo are incorrect. IMHO.
Australia used to be the world’s biggest producer of hemp rope but we brought into this American Idea that Cannabis is bad – Then we were forced to grow cotton at huge environmental cost and we consume lots of American stuff doing it; John Deere cotton equipment, Monsanto Poisons, Cessna Crop-dusters to drop the Monsanto Poisons. Do you think we were coned?
If you want to grow a plant and do whatever with it – if you don’t hurt anyone; it should not be a crime.
