Some street drugs can make you very poorly and the law is there to protect people from some of these dangers. The flip side of this argument is that alcohol and tobacco are also drugs – but they aren’t banned. I guess when people first started smoking & drinking no-one realised that they could be dangerous – and because we’ve had them around for so long, no-one would accept a ban nowadays.
I totally agree with you that people should be given freedom to do most of what they want – but if they are causing harm to themselves or other people then it’s sensible to try and prevent it happening in the first place.
