A Comprehensive Drug Policy

If we think we are consuming too much sugar or tobacco or cannabis or whatever, we could charge a fee to those who devote their land to producing these things. They would produce less. The price would go up. We would buy less.

If we are offended by drug use, we could charge a fine to anyone who does it in public. Private behavior would be unregulated, according to libertarian principles.

Some Letters to Cronkite:

• Holocaust Parallel

Cronkite on Nuclear War

"We establish numerous blue-ribbon commissions to study the problems of our society. We receive their recommendations for how we might solve the problems we face, applaud their efforts, then put the reports on the shelf and do nothing."
-- Walter Cronkite

Gaia Brain: If we could all say what human impacts on earth we would allow, then charge fees to those whose actions would take us further from the world we want, (because they pollute or pave the earth, or take limited resources), and if we could put the fee proceeds towards what we want to promote, we will have created a sensory nervous system for the earth.
