I agree with this, and I know you are being logical, but could you please elaborate. I find this discussion interesting.

If we were going by any reasonable measure of harm then there would be no prohibition at all - prohibition is disasterously harmful for everyone except organised criminals.

Drugs are banned for authoritarian reasons or because there's some (mind-numbing stupid imo) idea that 'if we don't ban it then we're sayings its okay to take drugs'.
