^^^^^^^ i agree. but i also agree that alcohol and other impairing drugs with little to no medical value should be much less available.
Sure, I understand that a lot of this is entangled in other issues, like ObamaCare, and maybe there could be reductions in benefits for more hardcore drugs (I'm trying to be a bit realistic here on policy implementation).
but when those consequences start affecting other people, then there's an issue. You can't give someone their kids and husband back who were killed by a drunk driver, even by throwing the person in jail for the rest of their life. And a drunk person isn't going to listen to a law that says don't drive drunk - it impairs your thoughts. If people were more responsible, sure. But America? Nah. Not right now at least.
You bring up a really good point. Sure, put whatever you want into your body, but when your actions caused by that stuff harms other people, then we have a problem.
