You seem to have ignored the idea of getting rid of unnecessary laws.
Why?
Which laws are unnecessary? Which laws are we getting rid of?

Victimless crimes for starters.

Do you mean victimless crimes? Sure.
Prostitution
Gambling
Drug use and distribution
Vagrancy
Theres a few to get you started.

I never know for sure what folks mean when they say "the left" so I can't speak to that.
Sex trafficking is slavery. That is a crime against another person.
Prostitution is performing services for another person with agreement by each party.
Did I say I was in favor of drug distribution to children? No? Then, no.
A vagrant on your property is trespassing, which is not a victimless crime.
Killing a vagrant is also not a victimless crime.

One more thing. Since drug selling and drug use is victimless. Does that mean all drugs, even Heroin? And if Heroin is victimless can we quit using tax payer dollars on Narcan to revive the people who OD?
So is it victimless when the sellers of drugs give free samples to people to get them hooked on addictive substances? Is that just being a good businessperson, or better yet, a bit altruistic?

Oh, I wouldn't worry that much about heroin. You should worry about "prescription" opioids which are ostensibly legal.
You know, the ones that have been given by doctors to their patients for YEARS?
Heroin is like third on the list, and would be hard to find more than likely if the drug war ended.

You're holding up heroin as your worst possible option in the fearmongering you're trying to do by concentrating on overdose deaths.
I just corrected you that in terms of deaths by drug overdose ... heroin is like third on the list.
It's much cheaper to make far more addictive substances. So you've chosen a weak example for your "big bad."

Well, making them illegal hasn't helped.
