“The use of drugs are not always to blame for a persons behavior.”
I know. Some drugs actually (intentionally or inadvertently) inhibit a person’s behavior.
Further, the identical ‘drug’ (for lack of a better term) affects different people in different ways, sometimes vastly different ways.
I am not against legalization of drugs (if regulated). Big Pharma alone is scrooing up plenty of people on their own. But at the same time I acknowledge that drugs are at the root of many a crime; they are not victimless.
Adam Lanza and the Charleston Church shooter were on some kind of prescription (legal and sanctioned) so-called psycotropic drigs?
Yes but were those drugs responsible for their hideous crimes?
If they had never been on those drugs, would they have committed those crimes sooner in life?
Don’tget me wrong, I am not an advocate for wide spread anything goes drug use, especially the hallucinogenic drugs where a person has absolutely no control of their minds, PCP, LSD, Bathsalts etc.
Of course they'd be regulated, as pot is in the states that have legalized it and as the drug alcohol is in every state.

If someone commits a crime while underslept, do we conclude that sleeping too little is "not victimless"?
