Use of Illegal Narcotics OK but not Production?

April 9, 2008

There’s a good discussion going on over at Objectivist Living about the regulation of illegal drugs. Here’s what the OP has to say.

I propose that individuals who use dangerous drugs in violation of the law not be penalized, but that it remain illegal to produce and sell dangerous, addictive drugs.

I believe that allowing dangerous, addictive drugs to be sold freely to adults would create severe social and medical problems that should be minimized. You cannot totally prevent the production, importation, and sale of narcotics, for example, but legal sanctions can greatly reduce these activities.

What a load of crap! Let’s set this guy straight. :)
