The Libertarian Case Against Amendment 3: An Imbalanced Approach to Marijuana Legalization | 9/04/24
1Description
Recently, Trump endorsed Florida Amendment 3, but his comments show he has been misled about the nature of this amendment. It will exacerbate every one of his stated concerns. Today, I offer numerous reasons why libertarians, who generally scoff at over-regulation of drugs, would be well advised to place their strategic interests ahead of abstract positions and oppose Amendment 3. Given the imbalance of how and under what circumstances it is legalized, in conjunction with so many aspects of our society, health care system, welfare state, and weak enforcement of other crimes, passage of Amendment 3 will not lead to a libertarian outcome. It will turn Florida into a blue hellhole. At the end, I take Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) to task for declining to even oppose abortion on demand and vote against Amendment 4. We have a crisis of a generation of Republicans who don’t even know what they believe on critical issues.
