EP106: Psychedelics: A Libertarian Case Against Legalization? - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

IS THERE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN LEGALIZATION? Do you know why voluntaryism provides better regulation than the State? Do you understand why so few libertarians can explain that? This episode covers celebrity drug cases like Matthew Perry's overdose, the FDA's stance on MDMA, the influence of Big Pharma, and how government coercion is killing veterans. Plus, even though Jim is a long-time libertarian, he reveals a surprising lesson he's just learned. As if that's not enough, Jim and Bill each share a personal secret.
