    How many have you talked to? I’m guessing the root cause is your sample size is too small.

      I can confirm the same.

      Yeah, OP’s argument is founded on a logical fallacy – it is called a Faulty Generalization.

      I’ve spoken to many libertarians over the years, not one is in support of total decriminalization of all drugs.

        Then I would argue that they cannot, in good concience, call themselves libertarians.

        Hello! Nice to meet you. I support total decriminalization of all drugs. What a human being does with their own body is their own business only. Unless the human is a child who still needs guidance in making those decisions before they have matured enough to do so on their own. In that case the parents should guide them to make safer decisions until adulthood.

        Now you have.

        Because that’s absolutely unhinged

          By decriminalizing at a minimum we can get people out of the shadows of crime and maybe into treatment, instead we pay for them to rot in prison because drugs are bad.

            Then what if they were just kept illegal, dealers get harsh sentences and consumers get treatment?

              Because under current laws, consumers that intend to distribute to support the habit, are treated as if they’re producers.

                Current laws where? America is not everywhere

                  Very few countries treat small-time dealers as victims of their vices. I agree that more drugs is bad, but the “war on drugs” didn’t work anywhere. Time to try another approach.

                    Small-time dealers are dealers after all. They’re not victims, they’re just fuel for this vicious cycle that is drug abuse
