This is a good point. But there is no such thing as a totally victimless crime. No matter what you do in your own living room, you're still a link in the supply chain of criminals and those who don't care about the law. You're still impairing your mental and physical abilities. You are still a menace, more of a menace than you would be sober.

hm...I'm smoking a joint in the bedroom right now. I'm going to go to the store in a little bit. Watch the Simpsons, eat Chinese for dinner. Hm...I fail to see where I'm being a menace yet.

And were drugs legalised, there would be no chain of criminals to which you are a link.

And how are you getting to the store, smart guy? Driving? Gonna run some other person off the road because you are so high you can't react in time to potential accidents? Maybe you'll walk, and end up stepping in front of a mini van, and scarring some poor soul for the rest of your life because they hit you?

Maybe you're on a scooter, and after you drive into a ravine, the state has to spend a few thousand to dig you out, and your parents or your insurance company have to pay for your hospital stay.

And even if drugs were legally purchased, you'd just be creating more skunky millionaires like the Coors family or the Levi bunch.
