I saw a question, and was wanting some other peoples answers.
The degree of regulation would probably be a function of the society ~ the end member anarchy level freedom would be offset by the civilizations view that government will protect the public good. Unlimited freedoms can only exist at the margins of civilization, if the price of these people screwing themselves is more of other peoples money being spent treating them then controls will be demanded.
You are always going to have junkies in a freee society, procecuting a war on drugs only drives the black market, wastes a shitload of money, makes the suppliers more canny and wins a lot of votes from the anti-drug public.
I think that I tilt towards a system of narco-capitalism, where accountable sources for hardcore drugs can exist and operate in a market system. Single use means of delivery, standardised dosage and purity perhaps even synthesis of new drugs that are appealing with out as many negative side effects."From a moral standpoint, is it worse for individual citizens to destroy themselves with bad choices, or for government to assume the right to make personal, private choices for the citizenry?"
