If heroine became legal tomorrow would you take it? Would you go to someone, buy it, consume it, and get high? It doesn’t sound like you would.

You might say that others would. But, who are these other people? Do you personally know them? Who are they? Are they patiently waiting for heroine to be legal to take it? Are they hoping that libertarians will get elected so they can legally get high on heroine? Concaine? Meth? I’d love to hear about this. The only thing I hear is a third-person effect that someone else will do this illegal activity that we have to protect with this government law, but I don’t need this protection.

Overall, I’m sure there are people who are on illegal drugs in TX at this very moment. I’m sure before they light up they don’t think, “hmm, this is illegal I better not…” yeah right.

Illegal drugs bring crime into the state, and minors run drugs for street gangs. One positive side effect of legalizing drugs is we could potentially put them out of business.

Libertarians have thought this through. We don’t just want to get high. We see people suffering on the streets. I see them downtown, it’s heartbreaking. We don’t want things to continue the way they have because vulnerable populations are being taken advantage of.

The War on Drugs started in the 70s and has cost more than $1 trillion. It has barely made a dent in its pledge to reduce illegal drug trade in the US.

It’s time to change things.
