I thoroughly enjoyed the April Centre for Independent Studies 2009 John Bonython lecture by PJ O’Rourke (video online. http://vimeo.com/channels/cis#4435734 )

O’Rourke is well known for his combination of conservative economic views and libertarian views on vice such as sex and drugs.[3]

O’Rourke’s views on Individual Rights is a clue to lifting the dialog on drug policy.
I am keen to see Maxim Institute advance its position and acknowledge ‘free will’ market based policy for its ‘Adam Smith‘ efficiency, efficacy and equitably. (law=fist, reason=hand)

Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we’re looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn’t test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power. P. J. O’Rourke

Drugs have taught an entire generation of American kids the metric system. — P.J. O’Rourke
