> You've demonized recreational drug use and decided people shouldn't be allowed to decide for themselves what they put in their own bodies.

There's an enormous difference between prohibiting individual use of a dangerous drug, and allowing somebody to manufacture and sell a dangerous drug for profit. The latter troubles me deeply, and that's what I'm talking about.

Profiting off of human suffering is not something society should ever tolerate.

> you are the problem with this country.

Oh boy! Do I get a sticker?

No there isn't, if it's acceptable to consume, it's acceptable to sell; you can't allow one without the other and claim any sort of logic behind it, it's simply stupid.

> Profiting off of human suffering

And once again confusing use with abuse. Drug users are not suffering.
