I think the question should be:
Should the Federal Government be allowed to dictate or regulate what is or is not acceptable to be ingested into the human body by voluntary means?

Are cravings able to be regulated by the Federal Government?
This is *definitely* the important point.

Let's no quibble over what drugs are more or less dangerous or addictive. Any delineation you make is arbitrary.

The only substantial argument is on the value of personal freedom.

I say that allowing people to ingest what they want better supports personal freedom then chriminalization.
