Jason Lewis, our smart, local Libertarian and radio host, believes that illegal drug use and illegal drug abuse are moral matters that are private, and should not be addressed through the legal system. He would legalize everything.
I was startled when I heard him suggest this route, but I now believe he is correct.
Still, I discourage the use of drugs of any kind, beyond what is medically necessary and safe. The use of legal drugs and illegal drugs should all be legalized but firmly discouraged.
Marijuana may indeed be a gateway drug to harder drugs. Even if it is not, it makes lethargic and dull a generation of youngster already too passive, pleasure-seeking and not industrious. A generation of self-actualizers would be temperate and ill-disposed to excessive or frivolous drug use.
Legalize illicit drugs, but rear up an ethical generation that repudiates their usage.
