Do you really think those arguments is going to work when you stand in judgment in front of God?

Things like steel or coal bring good to society in general, pollution has to be weighed against that good. Exactly what good does dope or other illegal drugs do for society? Other than some medical use it isn’t good for anything but pleasure. Thereby you can’t compare a farmer losing an arm to produce apples for your dinner table or a steel plant polluting to the drug trade.

**Somebody I don’t know doing something I can’t control that might or might not (depending on the supply chain) be related to getting me that stuff isn’t my fault, isn’t my problem, and I’m not carrying the guilt for it.**

By your logic it don’t matter what others do as long as it don’t effect me I take it.

I agree the laws are stupid, the government is responsible for that but I don’t see any responsibility on your part.

I don’t pretend to know what God thinks. I know what I think, and I don’t believe in collective guilt.

What others do doesn’t matter if you’re not a direct participating part of it. I didn’t do it, I didn’t tell them to do it, I didn’t setup the system that encouraged them to do it, I don’t have any responsibility. I am not the conscience of the planet.
