Libertarian Candidate for NH Senate Responses to Surveys from Cannabis & Anti-Abortion Groups

As part of my near-zero budget campaign for NH Senate district 10, I've been posting my responses to various candidate surveys and questionnaires. Here are the latest ones I received this week.

First up, the Marijuana Policy Project's survey, where I had to answer no to one of their questions about supporting regulation and taxation of cannabis. That's because I'm against government control of cannabis in any way. I understand MPP is trying to lobby politicians and that's why they propose such schemes to them. As a principled libertarian, while I'd vote for a tax-and-regulate bill if it were the only way to end prohibition, I don't support taxes or regulations. I only support freedom, which means ending drug prohibition across the board and letting people grow, sell, possess, smoke, and distribute cannabis without annoying and restrictive government licenses.

[It's a flower. No regulation, please.]

Next, it's the NH Right to Life survey. Abortion is an issue that libertarians have strong disagreements with each other over. While all real libertarians are against aggressive force against other humans, none of them agree at which point a fetus becomes a human. I choose the side that as long as the fetus is dependent on the mother's connection to survive, it is a part of her and she can decide what to do with it, which will likely not make me popular with the anti-abortion group. That said, I do respect their right to protest and express their opinion. The correct libertarian position on abortion is that the government should neither prohibit or pay for them.
