Marijuana has a history of safe and effective use that puts all other drugs to shame. There is no lethal dosage for pot – unlike virtually every other drug, you cannot overdose on cannabis.
The author makes an argument that is inconsistent, immoral, and certainly not compatible with libertarian ideals. No self-respecting libertarian could find a way to bend over this far.
If you want to make something illegal in order to prevent needless death, you should focus on the plastic baggie – it is much more dangerous than the contents in this case.
Peace.
