So, our ultimate choice come November

Yes, Gary Johnson

Trying to find out more on his stance regarding children and heroin. Someone implied he wanted them to take it.

Nonsense. Johnson has only advocated legalizing marijuana, not even heroin for adults.

I disagree with him on that. For adults. Keep in mind that alcohol is illegal for children and it's a crime to give it to them. That should be the law for drugs as well. But making drugs illegal is just stupid. It doesn't work and then we have all the crime in addition to the drugs

Oh bullshit....it's a cornerstone of the wacked out libertarian party (different than real libertarians)....

Gary Johnson on Drugs


Prescriptions for heroin & methadone at local pharmacy
Q: How would the legalization of heroin actually work?
A: Only addicts would be allowed to get drugs. They would have to get a prescription.

Q: But wouldn't there still be a large group of people who use heroin casually? Wouldn't there still be a black market?

A: Yes, you bet. But it is going to reduce the problem, which is a start. We have to look at the other users, too. We should start with the drug addicts and then explore the problem posed by the other users. For drug addicts, we should look at all the tools in the box. One of the ideas I proposed is that methadone should be available from drugstores, not just from clinics. One of the criticisms of methadone clinics is their clientele. Why don't we just allow people to go to drugstores and get their methadone with a prescription? Heroin maintenance is another idea I proposed. It's a harm-reduction strategy. Instead of pretending that drugs are going to go away, we should do everything we can to minimize the negative impact of drugs.
