Some people think that we will win the war on drugs when drugs are legalized. But this does not sit well with me. Why is it a win when we are free to do what we should have never been restricted from doing in the first place? In the meantime, there will be people who made fortunes off of our oppression continuing to live happily. We will have people on our side who have spent decades of their lives in prisons for bullshit, they will have a government pension after retiring from fucking us over. Clearly it seems that even if drugs are legalized, we will not be winners, we will be more free but we will have lost enormous amounts while they will have gained enormous amounts by enslaving us. I believe that it stands to reason that if we accept that there could be a world where drugs are legalized, that we must then ask ourselves what to do to the people who oppressed us when drugs were illegal? If I take an innocent person off the street and throw them into a basement for a year, I am a pretty bad criminal right? Well if drugs are legalized, then if I take a drug user and put them in a basement for a year I am a pretty bad criminal for doing this right? Well what about the people who behave in this way while drugs are wrongfully illegal? Some justice must be brought to them, and I wonder how we can best go about this in a libertarian society.
