Good points.
Some of this is covered under the rules of "Set and Setting" which basically states, be in the right/conducive environment (setting) and emotional state (mind-set) when utilizing a substance.
For instance, if you are drinking alcohol from your beer hat and driving a car, one is in the wrong setting for that drug experience and risks killing onself or others.
Same principle applies (or should) for all other substances which grown thetans have a right to ingest should they choose.
Education (the real deal, not proaganda and lies), common sense and personal responsibility should be the targets, not the regulation of private behavior and criminalizing and caging good people.
If anyone should be locked in the slammer it's the small number of real criminals that are running this sinking ship called "America."
"Set and Setting" may be good guidelines, but so is "do unto others" and we still need laws in place to make sure people don't go mugging each other. We have laws in place to (theoretically) protect us from drunk drivers and punishments for those who don't obey them, is that not "regulation of private behavior" in your eyes? Or are you willing to support a certain amount of regulation to protect innocent bystanders to drug use?
