Can you cite Scriptural support for jailing people for acts that harm nobody but (perhaps) themselves?

Firstly, there's no "(perhaps)" to the harm. Secondly, I don't have to supply any scriptural references. Aces is the one who contends its unChristian to lock up people breaking the law. I suggest you poke him for the reference. (Try Jude 3:21).

Firstly, there's no "(perhaps)" to the harm.

Occasional moderate marijuana use is no more "harmful" than occasional moderate alcohol use - or occasional eating of a bacon cheeseburger.

Secondly, I don't have to supply any scriptural references. Aces is the one who contends its unChristian to lock up people breaking the law.

No, aces contends that it's unChristian to have a law (which implies locking up violators) against marijuana use.

(Try Jude 3:21).

I can't find a version of the Bible in which Jude has more than one chapter.

And you're the one who contends that his contention is "incontrovertible evidence of the long term damaging effect of pot smoke." So where's your evidence for your contention?
