That is entirely the point. This guy made a conscious decision to feel in drugs he knew we illegal and harmful. I have zero sympathy for him. He knew exactly what he was doing, and what the consequences were. He did this to himself

As often is the case when debating with you, it's hard to understand the actual difference of viewpoint.

It seems like you just value revenge and compliance over a functioning civil society.

If you can't point to a tangible reduction in death, disease, misery, or addiction from these sorts of state actions, then I just don't see that you have a point to make at all.
