Perfecting the Libertarian Argument for Dealing with the Drug Cartels
Bob first reviews the standard libertarian case for legalizing drugs as the way to neutralize the Mexican drug cartels. Then he plays a recent clip where Dave Smith argues that drug prohibition leads to violence because (among other factors) you can’t call the cops if someone steals your product. Bob argues that libertarians should stop making this (invalid) argument.
