There are legal substances that are either harmful or addictive, but never both in such a severity. I don't think the government should play a huge role in the morals and ethics of people, but when it comes to the physical wellbeing of communities (remember: addiction means that drugs spread easily in communities), I support government in the banning of drugs.
I don't feel daddy government has any buisness telling me what I can or can not do with my own body.
To say drugs hurt everyone because addiction hurts everyone is a terrible argument. Cars hurt everyone because sometimes people die in car wrecks...

Not everyone that does drugs is addicted to them, hell most people that do drugs are not addicted to them.
