5 Ways Libertarians Are More Tolerant Than Liberals

2) Recreational and Medicinal Drugs

When it comes to recreational drugs, liberals favor legalizing marijuana but are usually unwilling to talk about anything else. Even for marijuana, they want to tax and regulate it and disallow individuals from fully making their own choices.

Meanwhile, in the land of medicinal drugs and alternative therapies, the left believes in a giant bureaucracy to make your decisions for you. Have cancer and wish you could try an experimental medication? Sorry, you don’t have the FDA’s permission.

If we believe in choice, then we should tolerate people taking their own risks. Once again, the left doesn’t trust you to do that.
