Getting high and losing control of one's self IS a danger to other people. It's reckless behavior and the driving force behind the majority of crime in this nation. So, yes, public intoxication should be illegal and the selling of drugs should be illegal.

Ok, the principle you espouse is that it is right to criminilize behavior or objects that might lead to the commission of a real crime. Your assertion then gives the government the power to stop anything which might lead to a crime. So any behavior and object can be illegal.

You must believe the Constitution of the US should read 'The government can do whatever it wants to do.' And following your principle they can start grabbing guns. Because dont you know a gun might be used to commit a crime. There is no difference in reasoning. This is why government keeps getting bigger, so called conservatives give it unlimited power and the Dems come along for the ride.

That's right. If someone attempts to murder someone, the person should be and is charged with attempted murder. If someone drives through a school zone on a street at 100 mph, the government can and should charge the person with a crime even if they don't kill any kids. The same logic applies to losers that get high on drugs or get publicly intoxicated.
