Taking drugs is not a crime.

Not true. Some states have internal possession laws, which means it is illegal to have consumed a controlled substance.

That is what I am talking about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=13567612

Making possession illegal is a measure to reduce consumption and harm producers. It introduces "victimless crime" that does not harm others per se.
