Anthrax can be self administered too.

But never is.

Not intentionally anyway, but has been by accident. Anthrax is too obviously a death sentence. Drugs are not so obvious, at least not in the short term.

I have known plenty of people whom arrived at the same point with drugs as they would have with Anthrax. It just took a little longer.

Not similar - a heroin user can cough in my face all day long, and lick all my silverware, and he won't make me a heroin user.

Perhaps not doing that, but he can certainly spike your food and turn you into one. Besides, laws are not all about YOU. They are about most people.

Have you known any drug dealers? I have. I've known lots of them. They work at hooking people. You know why? Because when they get someone hooked, that's a slave. They don't care that these people abandon their responsibilities, what they care about is harnessing that earning power for themselves.

Which is not the reason we ban anthrax.

You just don't see how drug usage spreads in a similar manner (by contact with carriers)

Perhaps not doing that, but he can certainly spike your food and turn you into one.

Which is not the primary mode of anthrax transmission - still not similar.

Have you known any anthrax dealers? Me neither - still not similar.
