All drugs should be legal because people have a right to do what they want, as long as it isn’t violating the rights of others.

Getting someone hooked on an addictive substance to get repeat business is predatory. It’s not an honest way to do business. Even if consuming drugs was legal, maybe the selling of drugs should still be illegal.

Related to #4062, making any part of the drug trade illegal just gives gangs and cartels a leg up over law-abiding citizens.
