MARIJUANA ISSUE SOLVED WITH MATHEMATICS

Medical marijuana has always been the fatal compromise because it
empowers the therapeutic state and enfeebles the individual.
Descriptions such as "relatively safe and non-toxic" are driven home
when medical comparison is made to the dangers of table salt. Doctors
regularly advise their customers to avoid salt because of its
hazardous potential.

Medical marijuana activists appeal to our compassion to remove the ill
from the drug-war battlefield. They are fighting a bad cause in bad
faith. Compromise will simply prolong the drug war resulting in many
more casualties.

Alcohol prohibition was repealed because citizens were ready to
reclaim their fundamental right to drink, a right in principle that
does not differ from the right to use any substance. Either we have
the right to poison and kill ourselves with food, alcohol and drugs or
we don't. I argue for individual liberty, personal responsibility, the
free market and rule of law. The way to deal with bad laws is by
repealing them, not by multiplying them.
