If you want to argue about the indirect harm of those in the drug world, you
must first acknowledge that there would be no harm if said drugs were simply
legalized. Thus, it's really the illegality as deemed by the government
that is causing the harm.
If pedophilia were deemed legal, the children would *still* be harmed.
Apples and Oranges.
Not fair.
