Is Libertarianism a Mental Illness?

• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Laurence M. Vance

The body of the e-mail simply said: "—regarding freedom to use drugs (( been writing about that insanity for three decades ))." The note closed with "JungianINTP," which refers to the Carl Jung personality type of "Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving" (INTP).

So, basically, what my respondent was saying is that the freedom to use drugs is insane and libertarianism is bordering on mental illness for espousing such freedom. No essays, articles, or books written over the last three decades about the insanity of drug freedom were mentioned.

But is it libertarians who are insane for believing in drug freedom or is it drug warriors who have a mental illness?

The libertarian position on the drug war is straightforward. Here is the condensed version:

There should be no laws at any level of government for any reason regarding the buying, selling, growing, processing, transporting, manufacturing, advertising, using, or possessing of any drug for any reason.
