Indeed, the idea that we shouldn't criminalize drugs because of some ludicrous personal autonomy argument is silly. It rests on a kind of extreme, libertarian view of human beings and human society in which human beings are construed as atomic, self-sufficient beings shouldering the entire burden of responsibility for their actions (we ARE responsible, but those who encourage or enable bad behavior share responsibility) and society is construed as some kind of purely voluntary association of atomic beings for transactional exchanges. Classical liberal view, extremely anti-social and anti-human. Human beings are social animals. Harming oneself harms society, and harming society harms its members. Society exists for the sake of the common good, and it isn't good to enable or allow drug use.

Yes, and we need to ban equasy as well, it harms people, predominantly the young, and provides no tangible benefits. Children are being harmed by this scourge!

Society will be much better off without it!
