I don't want to jump in this debate, but I want to point out that that's the opposite argument that many people use for trying to get drugs legalized: "It's not hurting/affecting anyone else besides me; why do people care that I want to use drug X/Y/Z in my home in my personal time?"

I hope people don't argue that drugs should be legalized because it's a personal life choice that doesn't affect anyone else, and then turn around and argue that more support for addicts is needed because their personal issues do affect others.

I know your comment doesn't have this logical contradiction, but I wanted to point this out in case any readers read your comment and silently nod their heads in agreement despite them also holding onto an obviously contradictory opinion.
