Let’s say they chemically different, lead to different results, are worse in almost everyway conceivable. Okay. But using them is still not a crime, according to the traditional understanding of crime, notwithstanding obvious longtime departures from principle. Drug use, even if different and moreharmful in itself, is a crime you commit against whom? Whose rights are you violating? Your own? That makes no sense.

No, drug use as well as drinking are not malum in se, and for the dame reason. They are sins, maybe, or abusing them is. But not crimes.
