drug use's only victim is the willing user, with any rights violations being those motivated by the War on Drugs. [underlined text omitted by gogeo]

If that were the case, we wouldn't be having the debate.

Who other than the user is victimized by drug use - as opposed to rights violations motivated by the War on Drugs, such as theft done to pay drug-war-inflated drug prices?

I'll give you that in the War on Drugs, the cure has been proven to be worse than the disease.

To say that drug use affects no one but the actual user, however, is foolish. It's like saying that abortion is a "personal choice."

The rest of us are forced to choose the least odious of the alternatives.
