Profits on illegal drugs

Tom Brosz — 7/31/2002 9:37:35 AM (archived)

One controversial answer to this kind of thing from libertarians is decriminalizing drugs to remove a great deal of the profitability from them. I unfortunately missed John Stossel's show on this subject last night.

One sure way to separate a libertarian from a conservative is to ask how they feel about decriminalizing drugs.
