Such as: consuming excessive amounts of so-called fast food, living far beyond one's means, not bothering with making an effort to become educated about history, world events, politics, and ideas about things that have the potential to make life better or worse etc..

Yes, everyone SHOULD have the right to make choices about whatever drugs or "drugs" (TV, shopping etc.).

I distinguish the so-called War on Drugs from mere enoforcement of narcotics laws. The "War" - meaning setting people up, framing people, actively looking for drug users in order to bust them etc. is what causes most of the "casualties" which most thoughtful people rightly condemn.
