First sentence: In discussing drug control and freedom, it still makes sense to start with John Stuart Mill's essay On Liberty (1859), for all its flaws "the clearest, most candid, most persuasive and most moving exposition of the point of view of those who desire an open and tolerant society" (Berlin 1959, p. 50).
