It was said in a hagiographic piece about a prominent libertarian who died last year that the two issues that were closest to his heart were the war on drugs and gay rights. And not just gay rights, but trans rights.
Now, as I have written about over a hundred times, the war on drugs is a monstrous evil that has ruined more lives than drugs themselves. The war on drugs-any drugs and all drugs-is incompatible in every way with a libertarian society; that is, a free society.
