Devil’s advocate–some of the examples in this thread are of people doing drugs to the point of triggering negative externalities.

Is there a point at which drug use should be considered antisocial and unacceptable?

Legalizing drug use does not shield them from liability for committing crimes.

But it allows for an increase of the frequency at which those crimes are committed - at which point it’s too late. Sure, can punish the criminal afterwards, but the victim has already sufferred.
