There is a sliding scale of rationality and drug use. Someone can smoke a pound a week of pot and still make rational choices about their life, about which actions to take and their consequences.

In my industry, I've seen too many people who are tragically f'd up on the harder stuff, and not one of them is capable of making rational choices in the other areas of their life. They cannot comprehend the idea of choosing between buying food for their kids and shooting their arm full of shit. There is no choice. They can't make the choice.

Anything which, when regularly used as intended, obliterates the rational participation of people in civil society, that thing should not be tolerated.
