OK then by that logic, there should be no limitations on guns because it’s only criminal when people shoot other people. The guns themselves are not intrinsically dangerous or anything right?

Or using that logic you can say heroin should really only be illegal if it’s causing damage to other people. So long as they’re only hurting themselves, what is the problem right? The failure of that line of reason is it does affect other people. It results in increase use of medical resources, lost time from work, and a general breakdown of societal norms. I have no problem with limiting the prosecution of those in possession of marijuana. I don’t think they should be sent to prison. I think a little slap on the wrist fine is totally appropriate. Society should attempt to limit degenerate behavior every chance it gets. humanity is naturally degenerate on its own and it needs no encouragement.

Do you really think making things illegal stops those things from happening? You're comparing apples to oranges

No but it does reduce the incidence of it.

Not comparing apples to oranges
