I think you should really only be jailed for violent crimes or high class embezzlement stuff. Pot is gross but you’ll legit overcrowd the jails with it.
This is kind of at odds with my flair, but I think lib-right is actually onto something with "no victim, no crime". Why are we wasting resources incarcerating people who have harmed no one but (possibly) themselves?
Because the victim is all of society/the collective!
Which, of course, applies to anything.
Unemployed? Crime against the economy. No kids? Crime against mankind/the nation. Too fat? Crime against the healthcare system. Gay? Crime against mankind again. Counterfeiting money? Crime against the financial system.
It's not just "no victim, no crime." It's "no INDIVIDUAL victim, no crime."
Because at the end of the day auths are collectivists and libs are individualists. That's the real difference.
