Really missing the point there. In the phrase you quoted, I was expressing my opinion that the government should stop trying to protect drug users from themselves; there's far too many unintended consequences and collateral damage from those efforts. The Darwininan effect would arise when someone managed to kill himself with cheap, freely available drugs.
Those who are up to "my standard of responsibility" only use deadly force when it is consistant with the principles of the law on justification. That doesn't happen much...and with drugs legalized it would happen even less.

I think people should make thier own decisions about it, but if you don't think you can handle the responsibility, I encourage you to opt out. Do read that link I posted to
