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.

Murder violates the rights of the unwilling victim; drug use's only victim is the willing user, with any rights violations being those motivated by the War on Drugs.

On that we agree.

To say that drug use affects no one but the actual user

Not what I said - I said it violates nobody else's rights, which is the only proper object of government force.
