If you can't see the difference in trying to stop people from doing what they want to do to their own bodies versus actual criminal activity (murder, rape, robbery, etc.), there's really no use arguing with you.
And we wonder where tyrannies arise from. Wonder no more, as tyrannical laws arise from folks who share the mentality, such as it is, like the Sam Hills of this world. So caught up in their fight against "evil", they can't see the evil they, themselves sponsor in the world.
People have been using mood altering drugs since the beginning of time. You and your ilk have succeeded in criminalizing the human condition. WOW. Jesus must be proud.

OHHHH SOOOOO TRUE!

This is the most preposterous and tiresome druggie argument of them all.
The same could be said of a suicide bomber. He was just blowing himself up. The others just happened to be there.
In our modern society -- for better or worse -- no man is an island.
No matter how what you may pretend, our society will not let drug addicts die on the street and their (mentally afflicted) children starve to death.
Also, believe it or not, drug addicts drive cars -- and once they get their inevitable rights -- trains, boats and planes.
They also burn down apartments in building where other people live.
You want to multiply these benefits to society a thousand fold. Or more.
And you pretend it's all because you are so principled. What a laugh.
The first principal of any society is to preserve itself.
Speaking as a Christian, I think CS Lewis had something to say about tyrannies for our own good. And he was right about it too.
