Not a nanny stater.
There are limits. You cannot yell "fire!" in a crowded theater. You cannot build a nuclear bomb or a meth / PCP / crack / smack lab in your basement, nor can you go buy these things at Walmart or a pharmacy. You cannot possess cyanide nor plutonium.
Please tell me why PCP, cocaine, heroin, and meth should be legalized? Would you want your kids going into the store and buying these things, having these things slipped into their drinks, or even just condoning your kids using these drugs in the privacy of their own homes?
Because locking people up has done nothing to stem the tide of addiction. And decriminalizing won't make more addicts.
Kids are being exposed regardless.
I use tobacco as an example of how it can be done. Strict regulations combined with education. Teenage smoking is at an all time low.
Still a bit nanny state. But to a lesser degree.
