I'm hearing a lot of references to this 'Thomas Sowell'. Anyone know his work?
He's a pretty well regarded free-market economist.
People who advocate free market are not real economists.
It's been shown that unregulated markets have no inbuilt invisible hand and only lead to monopolies and other abuses.

This 'unregulated market' you speak of...

I propose that earth is an unregulated market, with some governments attempting some control over some regions.

And it looks messy as heck to untangle from there. Probably I haven't even hit the highest spots.

Getting back to Democrats...

In my view calling drugs 'drugs' is a major part of the problem because it's not just a descriptive term but a conceptual one which carries an awful lot of unhelpful moral baggage.

When we're talking about people 'taking drugs' (in a non-pharmacological, non-medical context) we're invariably talking about that group of intoxicants and stimulants that are illegal. The illegal status of 'drugs' automatically classifies anyone involved in their procurement, sale, or use as engaging in criminal activity. Therefore discussing the legalisation or decriminalisation of 'drugs' involves politicians and other social advocates in making a case for essentially allowing potential criminal law-breakers to contravene those social norms we call laws. For the conservative-minded, to legalise/decriminalise 'drugs' is to be 'soft on crime' and to act against certain sets of norms around things like 'family values' and social order imperatives to be 'tough on crime' etc. For those who assert, affirm or otherwise endorse the view that laws represent something akin to absolute moral standards, to talk about legalising 'drugs' is to talk abut socially sanctioning immorality and criminality. Thus we hear things being said like those highlighted in Sean's video: "We have an opiod crisis and are overwhelmed by organised crime focused around the drugs trade, so at this time legalising cannabis would send all the wrong signals - particularly to our young people." etc.

The absolutely massive elephant in the room here though is, of course, alcohol - and to a lesser extent gambling, but let's stick to alcohol for the moment. Nobody disputes that alcohol is a highly addictive substance with profound physiological, neurological and psychological effects, even when imbibed in moderation. Indeed, isn't that exactly why we drink it - for its effects? :drunk:

By any measure alcohol is a 'drug' in exactly the same sense as those prohibited in law, and in terms of it's individual and social harms is a more significant problem that heroin, crack cocaine, or grey- and black-market opiods combined. Yet alcohol is so widely available as to be ubiquitous and embedded in the culture, and although there are various rules around it's purchasing and use (age restrictions, driving laws, etc) it is marketed at, sold to, and consumed by adults pretty much without question - including by young adults whose livers and brains don't fully develop until their mid-20s.

Conceptually, we don't consider alcohol to be a 'drug' not only because it isn't prohibited in law but also because we don't call it a 'drug' - 'drugs' are a separate or distinct class of intoxicating chemical compounds, the illegal ones, and as such they are bound to very specific moral and legal ideas which simply don't apply to beer, wine, and spirits.

What I'm not saying here is that society has some obligation to avoid hypocrisy; that people should be allowed to 'do drugs' because they're allowed to 'do alcohol' - although that argument can certainly be made. My point is that when it comes to talking about 'drugs' and 'drugs policy' it is much more informative, productive, practical to talk about the entire range of intoxicating chemical compounds which are taken for their psychoactive and physiological effects, and to address and assess our social attitudes and responses towards that group of compounds based on their relative harms while acknowledging their relative pleasures as well.

The problem is that the reason is there (well described in your post, by the way) but no-one gives a fuck about reason.

And no-one is going to give a fuck about 'drug users', unless they comply with the corporate drug dealers. (I like 'melita', 'smirnoff' and 'crazy cannabis' myself, as corporate drug dealers)

Democrats bad! They smoke pot while aborting and marching in the streets! They are still hippies!

April 28, 2021
The Democratic Party is Now America’s Extremist Party
By J. Robert Smith
Last year, though draconian shutdowns -- particularly harsh in blue states; ask Michiganders -- with accompanying trampling of constitutional rights. Imposition of masks to exact subservience. The destruction of small businesses and jobs. Restrictions on church attendance, while strip clubs, abortion mills, and pot emporiums thrived. Much of this permitted to undermine the Trump presidency and scuttle Trump’s chances at reelection. And the clear election fixes in key battleground states to ensure that Trump lost.

Passivity toward or encouragement of violence and riots in blue cities in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. Licenses granted to expressly militant, anti-American groups, BLM and Antifa, in Democrat jurisdictions to incite violence and cause mayhem. Calls to defund or even abolish police. The general collapse of law and order in blue cities, Portland being an ongoing example.

Through the intensifying, caustic narrative that the United States suffers from “systemic racism.” Through the emerging calls for remedies, namely, reverse racism and reparations -- retributions all -- for the unpardonable sin of being born white – at least, nonaffluent, nonprogressive white. 800,000 casualties in a hot civil war to end Democrat-backed slavery and a civil rights movement to end Democrat-imposed apartheid (Jim Crow), of no account.

All lives no longer matter to Democrats, who have found a new expression for virulent racism, which is their legacy.

Unfettered abortion (unmitigated infanticide) is increasingly matter-of-factly championed. And the oddball notion that one’s sex is malleable and chosen is being forced on Americans who know better. Males can claim to be females and access gym showers, restrooms, and compete with -- and often beat -- female athletes in contests.

Tobacco is bad, but pot and illicit drugs are recreational.
