LOL..Libertarians and their "Market forces" keyword... as if politics have nothing to do with the market. As if we can keep politics out of the market.
A libertarian world would be a nightmare world.
You do not do it instantly. You do it in gradual steps. First legalise the drugs that religions use..like Peyote for the natives. Then Marijuana, and so on. Do it slow and gradual.
The only problem is that big pharma and insurance will NEVER, EVER allow drugs to be legalised. Do you have any idea on how much big pharma makes off of pre-employment drug screening alone? 30 to 60 bucks a pop. Everytime I go in for one there is a constant line of 10 to 20 people waiting to take one.
