And, ultimately even if you think it's victimless, it's still a crime. When you face jail or prison time for possession or sale it's amazing how quickly people's "it's victimless it's OK" principles whither down to "Not guilty look I'm a white kid with no violence in my background please don't make me go to jaaaaaaail"

Piggy back and using my conservative voice.
Those people that become victims of drug use end up in the system being taken care of (either in jail or a rehab facility) by our tax dollars. Okay yeah pass a law saying we shouldn't have to take care of them, then you let the problem persist and fester, then it ends up spreading. I don't care how much "flight" you have in you. You can only go so far away from the "elements" you think you are moving away from before they eventually catch you. The reality is there is only so much land in the world for you to move to.
Drugs are not victimless, we pay for it one way or another.
