"Other crimes have actual victims that avoid and resist them."

One cannot well avoid and resist determined criminals. They take cowardly cheap-shots, use surprize, fear, and overwhelming force. I believe in deadly weapons to help even the odds, but it's better to simply erase criminals to begin with. Drugs are one mechanism.

"OK, let's criminalize everything YOU enjoy to make more excuses."

I suggested milk as an illustration, but if there is a better thing than drugs to target, then I am open to reason.

Nonsense; with a very few exceptions I've avoided them my whole life (most of it spent in big cities).

No, in a free country it's NOT "better" to invent crimes to erase criminals and noncriminals alike.
