Our position is based on a prejudice in favor of personal freedom: it is most in keeping with human dignity that all things be permissible unless a compelling argument can be made to forbid them. We believe that the burden of proof lies not with us, but with those who wish to keep drugs illegal; it is their job to explain why drug prohibition should be continued. By derailing some of the most common justifications for present drug policy, I hope to illustrate that the Drug War is destructive and wholly unjustified.
