So are you claiming that government knows best? Why shouldn’t people be free to decide what they put into their bodies?

They should be free to manage the consequences of their own decisions about what they put into their bodies without ruining the world for people who don't do the same and without forcibly extracting the wealth of competent people to pay for and support and enable the ones who choose to become incompetent.

I agree, but fear the argument is one that has also been used against those of us who didn't take the covid vx. We were fortunate there didn't end up being physical consequences for most of us.

Big difference between not putting a foreign substance with unknown effects in one's body and putting a foreign substance with known negative effects in one's body.

TT,

Because what they put into their bodies can negatively impact the lives of others. Like we really need more stoned people driving around. Drunks are dangerous enough.

I don’t disagree with that. But the solution is to enforce the laws not control what people do with their own bodies in their own homes on their own time. They do need to be punished if they commit actual crimes . Driving while stoned is illegal.

I would also say that having to reattach a member negatively affects others because that makes healthcare prices go up.

You advocated not legalizing anything more than booze.
