You don’t hurt yourself without hurting those around you. I have seen it to many times.

there’s a bunch of us that want to be able to decide whether or not we can hurt ourselves without having the government pile on top of us for our choice. Remember that time when we made alcohol illegal because “society knows best”? How did that turn out?

You don’t hurt yourself without hurting those around you.

But is that hurt the proper business of government - and can its attempt to suppress that hurt not create still greater hurts? The example of alcohol Prohibition is apropos.
