"you aren't free unless you're also free to choose to run yourself into the ground."

You are free to do that, in a variety of ways.

But you're asking the rest of us to condone that behavior by legalizing it. Sorry, but that cheapens life for the rest of us.

Bad enough that abortion is legal, much less suicide.

[legalizing cannabis] cheapens life for the rest of us.

So using cannabis is "suicide" ... although nobody ever fatally overdosed on it? What other self-harming behaviors are properly criminalizable as "suicide"? Poor diet and lack of exercise?
