I personally go with science. When it comes to using various drugs, I look at that a lot like letting people own guns. I don't care that you own and use guns for your own reasons, when you kill someone with a gun, you better have a really good justification.

Same with drugs, none of my business how you get your buzz on, alcohol, pot, heroine, cocaine or opium - you name it. Now, if you get a buzz on and climb behind the wheel of your car, we are going to have a problem regardless of which method you used to get you buzz.

Smoking and alcohol are good examples of two widely used drugs that cost society hundreds of billions of dollars every year. Personally, I could see requiring people to carry insurance to. cover the costs their particular vice will likely cost society... but that idea is not about to fly...
