I think in a lot of ways I feel like a libertarian on most social issues. This is a hard question to answer as guns are different from meth , and math is way different than marijuana, and marijuana is different from prostitution. If you look at the Netherlands they seem to be functioning just fine having a lot of legal soft drugs, and prostitution. Hell, they probably get more tourism for having it. Ideally I think most things should be legal, but I feel a line has to be drawn somewhere perhaps around hard drugs like meth, and heroine as they just do so much more harm than good. Prostitution, guns, and softer drugs should be legal and regulated of course.

Meth and heroin may do a lot of harm but keeping them illegal is doing more harm.  I believe I need to go back to watching Ken Burn's Prohibition mini series.

Hmmm... If it is on you tube I might check it out. I hate the way the prison system is handled here. If it ever came to a vote it would take a lot of thinking by me, but you know hard drugs are not going to even get a vot any time soon in America without some kind of major revolution in ideoligy.

Yep, the best we can hope for is marijuana.  I am actually surprised with the progress on the marijuana front.  A lot of the younger generations know that the government propaganda against weed is pure bs (Reefer Madness approach isn't going to work on them).  I would be completely shocked if USA federal government removed marijuana from schedule 1 drug...  Funny they still cling to the no medicinal value shit after all these years and with many states legalizing medicinal marijuana.

The series is on Netflix if you have that.

I got Netflix and will check it out. Well, we can be happy the federal government has stated they will not interfere with Colorado and Washington laws on MJ as long as the states enforce the regulations they create. This statement is a bigger step forward than those states legaliving them as more states know they can do what they believe. On the matter, I might have some Sour OG before bed.
