by wikipedia on 2005-05-01 22:30:27Drug use has no single individual victim besides the drug user himself, but places the burden of caring for and dealing with addicts on the rest of society. Essentially, the entire society is the victim of drug use in the same way that insider trading, another victimless crime, negatively affects every trader in the market. -

by anonymous on 2007-01-05 01:56:19The burden of _caring_ for drug addicts is one that is voluntarily assumed. If they want medical / psychiatric help, let them pay their own bills like the rest of us. The burden of _dealing_ with addicts is probably smaller if drugs are legalized. ( If drugs are legalized, prices drop and junkies have to break into fewer cars to support their habit )
