So a free society will respect the rights of the nonsusceptible rather than suppress them to protect the susceptible from themselves.

It's not about protecting the susceptible from themselves. It's also about protecting other members of society from the susceptible. It's about protecting other susceptible from a danger of which they are unaware.

Although some dangerous people use marijuana, there is no sound evidence that marijuana makes people dangerous.

It's about protecting other susceptible from a danger of which they are unaware.

That can be accomplished without suppressing rights by making the unaware aware.
