    You know, this is the libertarian argument for drugs and hookers for me. This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you’re rich enough. I just want it to be legal for everyone regardless of whether they’re billionaires.

        And yet, when is Elon’s court date?

        If a law isn’t enforced, then it functionally doesn’t exist. If the law only exists for some of the population, then it’s a tool of oppression.

      Your argument is that the law is not evenly applied , so just don’t have laws. So any law rich people don’t like should just be eliminated.

      Treason for all! Sexual assault when you feel like it! Yay!

      There are good reason to leaglize things, rich people want to do it is NOT a good reason.

        No, just don’t have laws designed to put poor people in prison for stuff that it’s fine for rich people to do.

          I’m not a libertarian and it shows. You do yourself as libertarians do. Laws should be applied equally to rich and poor. Just because a rich person can do it doesn’t mean we stop enforcing laws. Think of all the absolute shit things that Trump did and now say yes everyone can do them. That what you are arguing for.

          It doesn’t make things better. It makes them worse .

          If you want sensible drug laws fight for those . Don’t argue that as long as a rich person can get away with it everyone should. That a libertarian wonderland and I really don’t want to live there. But then again more people agree with you in the USA than don’t.

          Why not just having drug laws that make sense?

          Libertarians get so many people to support their idea by saying they’re going to make drugs legal by making no laws.

          It’s a great back door .

    I’m shocked, just shocked that and unhinged drug addict would be doing drugs. Who could have possibly know that would happen? If only there was someone who could have warned us like literally fucking everyone already did.
