It doesn't matter how harmful the effects are. People need to be invested in their own choices.

Life is full of dangers and in some ways we are thankful for that, because if it weren't we would become complacent and fat and stupid.
I'm completely cool with that reasoning as I think people should take responsibility for their own choices but what happens when the more tender hearted among us feel that with let these poor people down? Create a new program to support them? Afterall, if we hadn't legalized it and basically forced the chemicals into their bodies they would certainly have continued upon their cherubic lives.
