On the one hand:

Some people abusing drugs:

- to successfully get high

- more or less safely at home

On the other:

Some people abusing a drug

- that doesn't have the effect they're using it for

- when there's a better alternative

- which is freely available

- AND the knock-on effects are harming other people

  - ODs using up hospital capacity

  - continued spread of coronavirus

I don't see much comparison, nor any contradiction in being okay with the former and not okay with the latter.
