May be. In my conception, free market means that anyone can sell anything, as long as playing fair. If I sell you a medication, without warning you on some known side-effects, I should been able to be prosecuted, for example.

OK. Who would enforce that?

Cops, or members of some commission for the public health, related to the health ministry.

My point here is only that the current health ministry lies and have lied since 70 years, and should be fired, perhaps prosecuted.

I do not criticize the system. I just explain that the system is sick, for a precise reason: alcohol and cannabis prohibition have been used as a sort of trojan horses by bandits, and we should arrest them, and send them in jail or something. Instead, with the bandits in power, you can see that more and more non violent offenders (peaceful protesters for example), get aggressed and send in jail.
Just see here for a typical case:

Not to mention pot smokers, or even just people asking for the respect of the US constitution (which are classified as suspect of terrorism by the FBI, and could be send in jail without trial with the NDAA 2012 bill).

Capitalism works, but today capitalism simply does not exist. Capitalism, to really work, needs independence of power, and as few messing with civil and commercial life as possible, but since bandits get a large part of the power, we see that the contrary happens.

To solve the problem of terrorism, criminality, climate change, ... we have to stop prohibition, but above all we have to understand how prohibition has been made possible, and succeed in making that type of things impossible.

To explain and illustrate the logical confusion between p->q and q->p in schools might be enough.
