The use of something is not, and cannot, be a crime.

SO if I USE a nuke on my property, it can't be a crime? That's idiotic. The point here is other's rights. When you put crack or meth, ect in your body, you no longer can control yourself, not even as much as a person that had a few beers can. You are incapable of acting responsible and you are a threat to me, as your neighbor. You are violating my rights, and the gov has the moral authority to step in.

Let me help you out here aggie, with cultural jihads favorite quote on the right to take mind altering substances:

"Your supposed right to destroy yourself infringes on my right to pursue happiness, being sad at having to sit by and watch people needlessly suffer and die. When you abrogate the unalienable right to life, doing so abrogates my unalienble right to pursue happiness, being sad at watching people needlessly suffer and die." - The Forecastle

Do you agree with the above?

If you use a nuke on your property and it harms others then it's a crime. The government has used nukes on its property many times. That isn't the crime. However, some US soliders were deliberately exposed to the fallout and others were told to look into the flash without protective eyewear for research. Those are crimes. The misuse is the crime.

You could have a nuke on your property but if somebody lives within the blast radius then they would be morally justified in defending themselves.

When you put crack or meth, ect in your body, you no longer can control yourself, not even as much as a person that had a few beers can.

Then it would be in a person's best interest to use those drugs under supervision. It's called being responsible.

You are incapable of acting responsible and you are a threat to me, as your neighbor. You are violating my rights, and the gov has the moral authority to step in.

Gun-control advocates make the same argument about guns. They're just as wrong as you. Everyone is capable of acting responsibly.

Good points. If there were a designer drug which robbed people's ability to offer consent, to earn a living, to sit on juries, and to vote, in other words, robbed them of their ability to be responsible citizens and effectively turns them into inhuman slaves and zombies of the drug, would the ideologues laud its use as a 'human right'? The answer is 'yes' they would. That is why the vast majority of Americans have rejected their ideology.
