"Each of us owns himself, and it follows that we should have the liberty to take risks with our own lives but not that of others."

That's a good pro-drug-use argument.

It's no more pro-drug than Williams' article is anti-seatbelt ("I personally wear a seatbelt each time I drive; it's a good idea.")

But there are lots of similar arguments against the "War on Drugs", which arguably has costs (police state, neglect of public safety enforcement) that exceed its dubious benefits (and which I will not engage in off-topic debate on this thread, so please don't try.)

No, it's a good drug legalization argument. And even then, only if it does not harm others for whom you are not responsible. You know, like they do with drunk driving laws.

And I am completely for drug legalization, even though I think drug use is incredibly stupid.

But you see, in a FREE society, that is not my call to make. Nor is it yours.

As long as you don't tie socialized medicine to it it is. Take your drugs, but if you OD and can't pay for the emergency care then please don't die where your corpse will smell up anything.

Nice try.

That's a good pro-drug-use anti "second prohibition" argument.

It's funny how these simple concepts can be applied to so many usurpations of God given rights.
