Yeah, good points.

The Libertarian Party's platform states that "we favor the repeal of all laws creating 'crimes' without victims, such as the use of drugs for medicinal or recreational purposes."

And Johnson's actual words at a Town Hall:

Gary Weed Johnson:

When drugs are illegal, they're sold by criminals who have no business address. You can't sue them if they're negligent or prosecute them when they willfully defraud you.

Reactions like your son's usually occur with what's called a "hot load," meaning there was another substance mixed with the heroin. If the heroin he ingested were sold by a legitimate business in the light of day, there would be an immediate investigation (by who? Johnson eliminated the FDA, the CDC and defunded most of the government). If the product had dangerous ingredients in it or otherwise wasn't what the package said it was, the owner would be sued.....

(oh, a big bad lawsuit cuz the drug killed somebody? Ever try to sue somebody in court? They have a thousand reasons and expensive lawyers saying it's perfectly legal and/or not their fault. And they want you to pay for their lawyers.

And Mom is going to get a toxology report on the same bag of bad heroin that killed her son, and pay for testimony of an expert? What if it's a LLC? A Limited Liability Corporation. It says Limited Liability for a reason. What if the owner left town? You won't even get the money for the funeral).

The curious thing re:

The curious thing re: "legalize drugs" is that there will always be restrictions - not under 18, not while driving, not in military or law enforcement, not in most (?) health care jobs, transportation, construction, etc., even for marijuana. I'm more or less for legalization, but folks are a bit confused as to how simple it will be. Insurance companies especially will have their say, so that legal or not, the costs for non-compliance in anything hazardous or with potential liability will be huge.

In reply to Haha. Johnson had a brain

Yeah, Johnson goes from brain freeze to brain freeze. But who is it who is having the bigger brain freeze, Johnson or the millennials that are planning to vote for him? You've laid out a pretty good summary of his positions but you left out one. We're told millennials care about the high cost of college. Not only does Johnson plan to do nothing about that but he wants to eliminate guaranteed student loans and all federal aid to education. Frankly it always seemed to me that a certain set of young people hear a libertarian say "legalize drugs" and they go all goo goo eyed. That's all they have that appeals to the young and apparently that's enough.

In reply to Gary Johnson knows nothing

Haha. Johnson had a brain freeze on world leaders likely because he doesn't believe in laws, government, nations, or leadership itself. Its the corporations rule, the serfs are on their own.

In reply to Millennials are moving Gary

Gary Johnson knows nothing about Aleppo

Johnson does not know Harriet Tubman

Tonight, Johnson when asked by Chris Mathews, Johnson could not name any world leader that he respected.

If they want Johnson, let them cast their votes.

Millennials are moving Gary

In reply to Donald Trump is Not Redeemable. He Cannot Be President.

Millennials are moving to Gary Johnson:

Eliminate the NSA by executive order. 'The ~~black helicopters~~ satellites are watching us.'
Too many unnecessary laws leads to too many in prison. Make more crimes legal.
Vetoed early release of prisoners due to overcrowding.
Vetoed hate crime legislation as 'thought-crime'. Painting swastikas in Jewish cemeteries would be equated with painting subway graffiti.
Built private prisons. Supports the private for profit correctional industry as a magic of the marketplace example.
Private prisons are cheap, 'cost $20 less/day than public control.'
1994: Proponent of death penalty, but willing to debate it.
Eliminate IRS and income taxes on the rich and corporations.
Raise retirement age so more people die before becoming eligible for Social Security.
Have national consumption/sales tax so those who must spend every dollar they earn pay tax on 100% of their income.
Medicare privatized and only for the poor, and for the poor, let states handle the healthcare because they are so good at it.
Eliminate most or any federal agency, housing, EPA, education, FAA, Center for Disease Control (a 'medical police state')
Eliminate all current restrictions on gun ownership.
Freedom for child labor, no laws on restricting rights of employers to hire children.
Freedom from minimum wage, let the magic of the marketplace set wages.

In reply to Meanwhile, there is that

Trump isn't qualified to be President and he doesn't care. This is about his ego. He is a spoiled brat with money. He will use whatever tactic he can to regain respect. Trump cannot argue policy. He cannot bring a message of unity to the country. All he has now is sex. His campaign has telegraphed that is where the next attacks are headed.

In reply to I hope you're right. I'm not

Trump is going to go after Bill and Hillary on adultery. The Clintons will point out Donald's adultery and misogyny. Clinton surrogates will remind people that Trump said that he would have sex with Ivanka.
