I didn't see the comment you replied to as an attack on personal freedom, but as a commentary on what they think is and is not a poor life choice. Of course you're free to do as you wish with your own body and mind, provided it's legal and doesn't infringe on others' freedoms. But there's no denying that a lot of things you could choose to do to yourself would be pretty stupid by any reasonable standard. Just because you can get stoned whenever you feel bored doesn't mean you should. The fact that nobody has the right to tell other people what to do to themselves shouldn't preclude discussion.
