2. uhh no
they're to far over on the property rights side of things. They'd let anyone who owned land do whatever they wanted, like enslaving people on that land, or slaughtering people on their land.

6. That's funny.
You'd think the drug policy forum would attract dems with libertarian leanings, but your post has been unanswered since Saturday.

Libertarians are against physical coercion, like slavery, and the initiation of force, like murder. There is debate over the circumstances in which one should be allowed to initiate force against trespassers.

That said, if all you care about is drug policy reform, the LP is pretty unfocused and totally ineffectual.

4. Yeah right
The Libert's main motive is to get the drug trade into the hands of the big corporates, to maximize profits, with little if any government safety standards.

5. DRCNET is an excellent group.
Not a single vote? Well, there was only 10 or so votes so far at all.

I am not interested in a group that cares only about marijuana.
