please..you have to admit at least some irrational behavior can be expected from a person using drugs or alcohol

Sure, but there is no shotage of irrational behavior from your average sober person.

but that doesn't change the fact that there is at least some chance of harm coming to an innocent person due to someone else's use of drugs

[/ QUOTE ]

Not to get too far off topic, but the harm a person can cause under the influence of drugs largely depends on the context. If they are getting high in their basement, it's pretty unlikely they are a danger to anyone. If they go out and get high, and then decide to drive somewhere, they might pose a grave danger to the community at large.

unfortunatley the "only aloud to smoke up in your basement" law probably wouldn't work out... driving would probably make up over 90% of the harm caused to innocent persons
