Growing up in a conservative area in the Bible Belt, I once allowed myself to be brainwashed into believing crap like "drug dealers are the scum of the Earth and basically pure evil and should get the death penalty."

Later I discovered libertarianism, realized that I was a libertarian, and came to believe in self-ownership and adopted the position that all laws restricting what substances we can ingest, imbibe, inhale, or inject into our bodies should be repealed, and that all prisoners in jail for solely drug (usage|possession|distribution) should be released. I am also now staunchly opposed to the death penalty.
