There are no victims for doing drugs, zero. So it should not be a crime. There are no victims for selling drugs either. It is no different than your corner liquor store. Now if you kill someone while on drugs or kill someone to eliminate the competition then those are crimes but those crimes have nothing to do with the selling of or taking of drugs.

Well as a former drug addict I can easily say, all of this is patently false. You start off by experimenting with some friends at school because its "cool", then the next thing you know you are stealing to support your habit that by now is almost completely out of your control. You have NO IDEA on what you are talking about.

I am an alcoholic myself so I do know what I am talking about. I have been through rehab and I had the chance to talk to many addicts, so I do indeed know what I am talking about. If you steal and go to jail, you don't go to jail because you took drugs, you go to jail because you stole. It is no different than if you steal so you can buy you some booze. You don't go to jail because you drink booze, you go to jail because you stole from someone. Stop comparing victimless crimes with committing crimes to support your victimless crime. Two every different things.
