> Society can hardly intervene in every individual's self destruction. But it cannot allow drugs which are not useful for anything BUT self destruction.

Why not? Should I not be permitted to destroy myself if I so choose?

Because society needs you and who are you thinking you can take decisions for yourself not asking the government for permission? Get in line, you dangerous anarchist hippy, and be a good cog. And if you try to harm yourself again, we will put you in the cage with most violent and sociopathic people we could find and keep there until you understand we're doing this for your own good. That provided we don't kill you while trying to take from you dangerous chemicals that aren't good for you.
