How is limiting what people can do with their own bodies anything but a human rights violation?To be fair, this is only true if (1) You accept human rights exist and find a way to prove there is an objective sect of values (2) If you follow a liberal/libertarian principle of self-determination because there are people like me who see some behaviours as so self-destructive that society should put an end to it - I don't think this is the case for weed though
If self determination is at all important to you, self destruction must be protected. What else is it if not the absolute culmination of self determination. As long as I do not harm others, where is the harm to society if I engage in behavior detrimental to myself?
