Alcohol is not my drug of choice. You're assuming a lot here...
> Do you really think people are protected from drugs by making them illegal?
Do I think prosecuting individuals for using drugs makes sense? Not at all, and that has never been my argument here.
I don't want Meth4U Inc. getting people hooked on meth, ruining their lives, and making a massive profit off of them. That is unconscionable.
So decriminalize the use of all drugs. I don't care. I never said I did. Going after individual users is a ridiculous waste of money and human capital.
However, I feel very strongly that the manufacture and sale of dangerous drugs like meth and heroin (or cigarettes) should not be tolerated by society. Will people still find a way to get away with it? Probably, but it's quite a bit harder to make and keep a profit if it's illegal.
> Or are you just a sanctimonious narcissistic nanny-stater?
I think that profiting off of human suffering is not something society should ever tolerate. If that makes me a "nanny-stater", so be it.
