Socialists really hate freedom, don't they? Somehow, it's always "capitalism" in question when it is, in fact, freedom. It's none of the government's business what somebody takes into their body. All drugs should be decriminalized anyway.

Smoking and alcohol take millions of lives every year, yet we say "people have the right" to drink or smoke. Why is marijuana different, which is way less dangerous than alcohol, which is pure poison?

I don't get this line of thinking. Should suicide be allowed too? That would make this argument congruent, otherwise I can understand it.

Are there places where suicide is criminalized?

Illegal != Criminal. Most drugs are illegal in Portugal, but all are decriminalized.
