Our fundamental disagreement is, I don’t believe drug abuse is a victimless crime.
I won’t repeat the stories and examples I’ve already posted in this thread.
Just to say, if I believed drug abuse was victimless, I would agree with you.
When any action results in harm to another there are ample criminal and civil remedies already in place to address them. The criminalization of the actual possession and use of drugs is unnecessary. It just creates the incentive for a black market and government corruption where crimes that do violate other’s rights inherently proliferate. That is a simple fact that can’t be rationalized away.
