To suggest it is not reducing what would have been is ridiculous.
In other country's where they treated it like a sacrament addiction went higher and things got worse by far.

Sure, you got a person dying, don't bust them for pot possession at home unless they are sharing or dealing.

We can't approve of it because you will increase addiction a lot more and in the end if no one were addicted, we would all be better off.

You're talking about treating drug addiction as a sacrament, religious right. I'm talking about treating the drug problem as an education and medical problem. Similar to treating the tobacco addiction problem since 1990 as an education and medical problem has reduced the number of tobacco users by almost 50%. And tobacco is more addictive than heroin. 

We can't approve of it because you will increase addiction a lot more and in the end if no one were addicted, we would all be better off.

In your world the Surgeon General's Warning on tobacco equates to approval, not toleration. Hey, A CA Guy, there's no law prohibiting you from shoving a broom stick up your a$$, but according to your logic that signals approval.

If only no one was addicted to drugs, but they are. Treating them as criminals is immoral. It is immoral to initiate harm/force against another person or their property. If you think the act of a person sitting in the privacy of their home doing drugs has harmed you then take the person to court and an impartial jury and try your best to convince the jury that the person's act victimized you--harmed you. After all, if that person's act harmed you then you are due restitution for your pain and suffering. Somehow I think nine out of ten times the jury will side with the defendant. I don't see how the person doing drugs in the privacy of their home harms you.

Addiction is a concoction of the satanic psych community.
It denies the existence of free will and thereby freedom.
This faction, or sub-Oligarchy, attempts to control the wills of others in matters outside the purview of government for their inherently private and religious nature as bound by the Constitution. It is treason to usurp the bounds of power detailed in our Constitution in order to force your will upon the wills of others no matter how much faith of conviction as to the rightfulness of that will you possess. They will have you believe they are the angels to save you from the evil substance. However, this is an ancient heresy, for evil has no substance. Evil is nothing but the abscence of the presence of God or willfull action adverse to the will of God. In whose name do the DEAmen in black armor and black masks break down the doors of homes to shoot innocent citizens in their beds for the mere possession of an herb from the Garden of God?
