I totally agree with you in spirit, Strange. I'm all for legalizing marijuana and alcohol for people 16/18/21 and up. It should be their choice. Freedom'd.
The problem is that if you get rid of substance laws entirely that people complain that government isn't doing anything to help the self-inflicted problem.
Aside from the whole moral crusade, it seems that citizens crave conflict structure. They'd bitch about drug freedom as much as today's drug laws.
Everybody wants the freedom. "Man, I wish X was legal." But then if there were no laws regulating X, they'd cry about the occasional chaos.
Nobody is willing to take personal responsibility to enable freedoms. They want someone else to do the rule-making and heavy lifting.
So fuck you, America. You don't know what you want and you've proven yourself too goddamn lazy to handle actual freedom.
