And that's exactly what you're doing.

Using drugs or selling drugs should not be a reason to put someone in jail.

Tobacco, alcohol or sugar (HFCS) do MUCH more harm to users than illegal substances ever will, and cost much more to society as a result.

> behaviors and responsibilities that are required to be a productive and self-supporting member of society

Define "productive".

If you sell illegal substances at a profit, how aren't you "self-supporting"??
