How Libertarian are you

I said no as some questions were all inclusive when I didn't want them to be. Such as, not every aspect of law enforcement needs to be government run, but not every aspect should be privatized.

Not every drug should be legalized, but a helluva lot more should be legalized.

The Fed needs to be disbanded, but not all regulatory laws in place need to be as well.

The list goes on. The "yes, no" options are not good enough. They need options like "This is too extreme as not all should be done...but some." Or something like that.

I had problems with answering too because I sympathise with a few ideas and aren't absolutely set into one particular belief system. Which is probably why I answered yes a lot.

not bad, most of it is a slippery-slope argument with some lipstick and fishnets though

for interests sake, what standard, aside from personal taste, do you use to segment what should and what shouldn't be legal

Things that should be legal as OTC drugs:

Shrooms
Weed
Steroids

Things that should still be regulated, but not illegal:

Meth
Cocaine
etc.

Regulated: Meaning, it is dispensed by a pharmacist and the person is monitored to ensure they won't die too quickly. Tax it. 🙂

This is slight jest...but I could probably think about it more and give a more intelligent answer.

Drugs that should be illegal:

Cigs
Skunk Weed
or anything else that gives me bronchitis and stinks really bad. 😐

I don't pretend to want to enforce my idea of morality.

And my "standard" is really the degree of damage or the quickness of death that the drug can cause. Things that can kill you rather fast are probably ones that shouldn't be otc legal.

Things like steroids, which are almost impossible to overdose to the point of death, in one sitting, should be OTC legal...or at least legal with advice.

Shrooms...fine.

Weed....fine.

other things like those...fine.

Crack....meth.....x, and other things like that, more caution should be employed, imo....but made much more legal.

what about the fact that I can go out and buy poison, OTC?

You certainly shouldn't be a child buying, that's for sure.

31 for me.

The wording was very bad in my opinion. All Yes and No to questions that aren't as simple as that.
