The order matters a great deal, and allowing people to put absolutely anything they want into their bodies might be a fine idea -- but first they need to abolish my responsibility to pay for their little adventures.

Can we assume that includes the types of food people eat, since obesity costs taxpayers $$$ in health care?

Exactly. Fat people (in particular in rural America) clearly have higher levels of heart disease and diabetes which costs Americans far more in health insurance than stoners will.

I just want government charity stopped. That’s my point.

I believe that changing laws so that drugs are more available will lead to some disrupted lives and therefore a greater need for government charity.

My #1 priority is ending government charity.
I’m not interested in new laws that alter in any way how people eat.
I’m generally not interested in new laws of any kind.
I’m open to relaxing laws that allow more freedom in what drugs people might take.
But people need to be in a position where there is no safety net: they must be responsible for themselves, because there is no government charity. Then — if they want to use drugs, I suppose it’s none of my business.
