Putting the genie back in the bottle




















They're not at the
They're not at the forefornt of bansturbators on drugs policy. Lib Dems have quite a sound policy, unless it has been unilaterally updated by the powers that be (wouldn't put it past them!) - on decriminalizing where possible, renegotiating treaties or finding ways of working within them and crucially of moving to an evidence based classification system which would include all psychoactives so you could see whether your tipple was more or less lethal than what we currently call legal drugs.
I am a bit disappointed in the whole Libertarian manifesto to be honest. I know that I am more libertarian than those who seek to temper their libertarian instincts in the name of getting elected. The book we're writing will, I think, show that there's not a fag paper to put between proper liberal economic policies and proper libertarian ones. How could there be if one's favourite liberal author is Herbert Spencer!
