Milton Friedman - Why Drugs Should Be Legalized

This guy is spot on. Basically everything I have thought laid out perfectly in 8 minutes. Cheers.

I agree as soon as we get a free market, we should legalize drugs.

Assuming Cicero was correct, it is clear that you are are a philosopher.

And look at the spectacle in Chicago that continues today... When will they get it?

Drug prohibition causes more suffering and harm than drugs ever could. Whenever I come across a proponent of drug prohibition I ask them, "Is a law the only thing that keeps you from taking Heroin" to which they almost always answer that while THEY know better than to do Heroin, it's everyone ELSE they must protect. Fucking assholes. I wish they had to live in a drug infested hellhole created by prohibition.

This guy was a true conservative. He probably supported Goldwater. Regan, however, was not a true conservative. I wonder what Friedman would have to say about drunk driving.... He would most likely oppose any sort of Federal regulation just as he always does.

@alagon no, his freemarket ideal ensures that people are free to do as they will, as long as they don't stop others from doing as they will.

He would be against drunk driving because it is harming other people.

Actually drunk driving hurts no one.

Crashing into someone's person or property "hurts" people.

Do You harm other while influated on drugs and alcohol? I didnt know.
