Or you could take a stance of personal freedom. If these people want to do drugs like Meth and Heroin all day in their house, LET THEM. Now if they do anything illegal while under the influence or commit a crime to get the drugs (steal, rob, etc) then punish them severely. But if they just work and do drugs all day at their home while not invading anyone's other personal freedoms then who cares.

The problem with this is it does not place a high enough to value on human life. It is akin to saying- I'm ok with you commiting a slow suicide while everyone else in your life is collateral damage. If you truly believe what you wrote, you are a sociopath.

So you are uniquely qualified to assign values to a humans life? That's damn pretentious.

So your socialist leanings also justify letting your virtue decide for other people what's best them? How noble.

No, he is not. Your way of thinking is along the same mental comportment as a Hitler. Though on a smaller scale. Thankfully.

More harm to humanity has always come from those thinking they know what's best for everyone.

Societies where people are freer to make their own decisions have the highest standard of living in the world.

So you truly believe that you or other people know what is best for another human being? You are so talented and athletic that you know how other people should live their lives.

How is doing drugs any different than eating sugar food or fast food all the time? Obesity can cause more health problems than many drug users. Maybe I'm just more American than you are and actually believe in personal freedom. I think adults are able to make their own decisions and live by the consequences of their choices.

Let me guess, your not American? If so, you need look up personal freedoms and personal liberty.
