I'm on your side, personally. It's not always possible for a person to be fully informed of the effects of habit-forming drugs before taking them. Society should do something to protect the population, even if it in to prevent self-harm.

So you're logically consistent, and in favor of banning the most dangerous drug - alcohol. Right?

Honestly, kinda. Alcohol kills too many people, both self-harm and other people when operating vehicles.

Crazy how pro-drug use people here are. As if many people aren't dumb and not just take whatever drug they see. As if they make informed decisions and make sure they also don't harm others. Many people suck and we need to deal with that in a reasonable way, even if it means that we to limit what everyone is allowed to do. Maybe sometime like a divers licence for certain drugs? With checks to make sure they are not destroying their live with it after losing control.
