For libertarians, it is often frustrating to explain that advocating the decriminalization of x is not synonymous with endorsing x.

◼ IN PRAISE OF LIBERTARIAN JUDGMENTALISM - David Harsanyi/Human Events

...If libertarian ideas are winning the day, as some of those pundits insist, then government’s getting out of the “legislating morality” business should cut both ways. The state’s decriminalizing of an activity or substance doesn’t transform that activity or substance into a moral, healthy or admirable one. And libertarians don’t have to act as if it does. You can celebrate the fact that people are free without celebrating all the dumb things those people do with their freedoms.

Like, for instance, standing in line for five hours to buy a dime bag.
