So exactly how would a sane adult, following directions, poison themselves on Tylenol?
And exactly how does stupid contradict suicidal? It's additive if nothing else. Either you are suicidal and take an purposeful over dose or are a moron and cant follow directions, which would be a stretch but I add it to cover the possible bases. Most sane folk, even of debatable smarts know to take two pills.
And while I will defer to you expertise on heroin though I have heard that before and will concur, let us assume a pure regulated (oops) heroin is produced. It, as well as others, is still a mind altering drug that cause the user to lose the ability to control themselves, drop from reality and indeed invokes a desire for more of the drug starting a cyclical spin into overdose So what is going to control that. Remember we are dealing with a wholly different set of drugs, not pharmaceutical, but recreational. And yes, there are addictive prescription drugs but lets stay in reality here. Recreationals have a wholly other purpose and intent and are designed to alter minds and reasoning.
Who said they were following directions?
Adding stupid contradicts your earlier claim, "no one would take too much Tylenol unless they were suicidal".
And exactly how does stupid contradict suicidal?
Simple: if you concede that a stupid nonsuicidal person might take too much Tylenol, you can no longer claim, "no one would take too much Tylenol unless they were suicidal".
let us assume a pure regulated (oops)
Why "oops"? Alcohol is regulated, and I'm fine with that.

(Ditto for the recreational mind-altering drug alcohol, by the way.)
and indeed invokes a desire for more of the drug starting a cyclical spin into overdose
Sometimes - also sometimes true for alcohol. Is that a sufficient reason to ban that drug?
Sheesh. What a moronic statement.
1) There has NEVER been anything other than a token war against drugs.
2) As if allowing these substances to be produced by the government (yes, let's allow a governmental legal distrubition of mind altering drugs for the purpose of mind alteration be allowed /s) would somehow prevent those addicted to these drugs immediately and completely stop committing crimes.
Can anyone else see any dangers to having the government overseeing and regulating the production of mind altering drugs used for recreational purposes? Anyone? Does anyone study history anymore? The level of stupidity involved with those who want to legalize these drugs is staggering.
