Yea and the black market is one of the main reason things are harmful. 1 they r unregulated so your getting God knows what 2 they're most likely connected to gangs or your countries version of them so ur prolly funding then and 3 it creates a stigma around the drug causing addicts to be less likely to seek out help
right but people still murder, even though murder is illegal
no one thinks that murder should be legal (except for the guys from Alfred Hitchcock's Rope)
Drugs are a personal vice which the person can do without ever harming another person. Murder is murder. I don't think it should be legal for drug addicts to steal for their drugs, even tho some will whether or not its legal because that involves harming another person.
