Kent's "Hooligan Libertarian" Blog

This blog is the clearinghouse for all the writings of Kent McManigal. Gather 'round and read my hard-core, REAL, libertarian/anarchist views on just about everything. I also write a weekly column for the Clovis News Journal, as well as sporadic columns elsewhere, plus stuff here that you'll find nowhere else. Enjoy!

More Dangerous thoughts

Why is it OK to self-medicate with ibuprofen when you have a headache, or with an antihistamine when you have allergies, or with an over-the-counter sleep aid when insomnia strikes, but not OK to self-medicate with marijuana if you are suffering from boredom?

Boredom is probably more likely to be fatal than a minor headache, nasal allergies, or temporary insomnia would be, yet it is seen as somehow "wrong" to self-medicate- using a very safe medicine, by the way- to alleviate boredom's symptoms. That doesn't make sense.

I think the real issue is "What is the government's interest is what a sovereign does with his own body?".
If they can claim ANY controlling interest, then we are merely property.

Kent... you are falling into the trap of thinking that ANYTHING about prohibition should or ever could "make sense."

Of course it doesn't!

None of that is about safety, or "wrong" or anything at all except CONTROL.

And you know it. :) <3

Cuz if it were not a crime, there would be no need for heavy infantry in our communities.

Tyrants can't abide not having JBTs. It's like a law or something, I think.
