How does legality matter in the slightest bit as to whether my personal drug use "profoundly" affects you?

Drugs: we are looking at it all wrong. The problem is US.

like removing guns, it's too late for that. Alcohol is so ingrained in our society. Hell, in the world!

If you are using illegal drugs, you are contributing to drug related crime. Crime affects all of us. I would think that obvious.

You can't even keep drugs out of highly controlled environments like schools and prisons.You sound like Nancy Reagan.

Probably true, although such polling is very likely underreporting significantly.
But my point remains; if we want to solve the issue of illegal drugs, we are going about it all wrong.
The current administration has made a very big issue of illegal immigration as well, which is obviously way overblown.
Again, there are effective ways to deal with that too, but we aren't doing them either.
But trump is making the country worse and worse, so it's less attractive for people to come here - both legally and illegally.
Of course, it is having some terrible effects on our economy, since he failed to consider the consequences.
The farmers in deep red states and elsewhere are having a lot of trouble finding workers now. Hmmm, I wonder why that might be?
All those deported and voluntarily leaving are taking their money with them, no longer paying taxes, and leaving jobs vacant that we really need people to do.
What could go wrong?
