I would go along with almost all your thinking except the above.
Taking drugs infringes on other's freedoms as addicts commit crime to feed their habit and cost the taxpayer $$ to police and bring the offenders to trial.
How about the cost of DWI, the lives of 10,000 people lost last year.
While you could remove the jail charges for non violent users or law abiding users, you would need to strengthen the law against all sellers with a penalty of life in prison, no holds barred, for control.
If someone wants to go into a closet and take drugs, be my guest.
But don't infringe on my freedoms for life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness as some addict or recreational user steals, kills or injures a member of my family.
