Someone who advocates for legalized drugs is no more a supporter of the illegal drug trade than someone who advocates lower taxes is a proponent of tax evasion.

Someone who advocates for legalized drugs is no more a supporter of the illegal drug trade than someone who advocates lower taxes is a proponent of tax evasion. This is a silly and insulting conflation. Likewise, someone who advocates for legalized private currency isn't a supporter of illegal, black-market currencies designed for hired crime, money laundering and tax evasion. The disconnect is even greater when you consider that Ron Paul, and advocates of "sound money", advocate for commodity backed currency, while BitCoin is backed by nothing and is as "unsound" as money can possibly get.
