If ending the war on drug is the best way to shut down the current police state tendencies of the US, doesn't that make the Obama administrations initiatives, some of the strongest and boldest ever steps in engaged in by the US Administration to halt the war on drugs, make him slightly less of the hyperbolic dictator he's painted as by Libertarians?
I haven't seen that from him at all. I've seen him crack down harder on marijuana dispensaries and do nothing about the drug war at all. If anything, the promises he made in 2008 in this area made it sound like he'd be better on this issue, and he's been the opposite.
