Sure. I have no objections to making it legal for an adult to buy alcohol, ibuprofen, tetrahydrocannabinol, or azithromycin without a prescription. I think driving while intoxicated (from anything) should remain illegal, because it endangers others. I support employers being able to fire people who can't do their job, whether intoxicated, incompetent, or plumb stupid.

I also think voluntary impairment should not be a defense in criminal or civil matters. If you knowingly get stoned and enter into a contract, it should be binding. If you get drunk and kill a man, or steal a TV, there should be no leniency because of your mental state.

I also support abolition of 50% or more of "entitlement" spending, including the anti-drug strawman of taxpayer funded healthcare for people who injure themselves while intoxicated. So many problems would auto-solve if we allowed the invisible hand and natural selection to work.
