Place for discussion from a Libertarian perspective, meaning less top-down control and more individual liberty. In general, the intent is discussion about issues and not a discussion on libertarianism itself or any of its branches.
Be sure to respect the instance rules, and please keep discussion civil and backed by high quality sources where possible.

There are medical applications != “healing magic”
If you use your eyes and your big boy brain to read things, you’ll see that basically every culture has found medical applications for cannabis.
You clearly will disregard any history or science that comes your way, because you’ve dug in your heels and found something to make you feel better than some caricature you’ve invented in your head.
I’m not going to address any of the false equivalencies you’ve presented because as stated, you’re speaking from a place of imagined elitism and not intellectual honesty.
And your speaking for a place of pro-weed elitism. My opinion is just as valid as yours. You keep smoking, tho. I'll keep standing for your right to do it. But I'll keep mocking people who get high. :)
Your opinion isn’t as valid as anyone’s because it isn’t based on facts. I haven’t even indicated if I smoke. I haven’t given an opinion at all in fact.
I actually haven’t said anything for or against weed either way, only acknowledged that it does in fact have medical uses. Which is a fact.
This is a very libertarian approach to reality, as long as it makes you feel better than someone else it must be true right?
Meh, I think it should be legal. I think it's overhyped. You're taking this way too personal.
I’m not taking it personal at all, I’m calling you out for being a pompous ass, and being wrong in equal measure.
I'm not wrong, and you are taking it personal. Just let it go. We can agree to disagree.
sigh
I forget that dealing with libertarians is basically just talking to a high school freshman level of intellect most of the time.
Okay buddy, whatever makes you feel better.
Thanks! I do feel better now. Thank you for that!
