There are indeed some things that seem best to have a strong commitment not to indulge in.
I'm not saying you guys can't enjoy your drugs. If you choose to put your family and yourself through hell or even if you want to kill yourself, go for it. For me though, I'm quite content with my clean living.
Enjoy.

Oh bullshyte. Arguing to extreme to make a straw man nobody supports is a superficial approach to a difficult problem. It gives you justification to dismiss everybody who disagrees with your position, even if their position is not too different from your own. We are not 'either with you or against you'. There are a wide array of opinions, not just yours and everybody else's.
Let's start from the simple: Do you own your own body? If your answer is in the affirmative then it is yours to treat and dispose of as you wish. If the gov owns your body then the gov gets to tell you how to use it.
Take abortion, for example. If a woman owns her body then the gov has no business in her uterus. If the gov owns her body then the gov has a stake in how she uses her uterus.
If the gov owns your body then the gov can (and should) have an interest in your medical condition -- the sole justification for socialized medicine.
If you cede ownership responsibility of your body to the government or anybody else then you are in essence, their slave. It's not your body, it's theirs.
