Not as much, but I still think they cause about as much trouble and corruption as the harm they may prevent. I just don't think you can legislate morality with vice laws.
That said, I was disappointed with SCOTUS in the Lawrence v. Texas from a public health point of view re: HIV/AIDS. They didn't even look at it from that perspective, yet the gov't restricts liberties from the public health point of view even when the science is bogus, i.e. environmental tobacco smoke.
Well imho that leaves only the influence of religion on people. And with that influence steadily fading in our society, I fear the worst.
Shudder......I hate to think of a free, open and totally unfettered drug taking society. I wonder if anyone will work at all, other than to steal to satisfy their next fix?
