Some day we will be able to vote for a political party that represents our bodily autonomy to put what drugs we want in our own body.

Even alcohol.

We already have that autonomy when it comes to alcohol. We are not, however, as autonomous when it comes to the reactions of other people to our autonomous behaviour when under the influence of alcohol. Or any other drug for that matter.

And their reaction's existence within the law is immaterial.

That is, if you do whatever the f--k you want, don't be surprised when other people do whatever the f--k they want when they react to whatever the f--k it is you're doing.

If you're lucky, they'll complement (possibly also compliment, but complement is intended) what you're doing.

If not, expect pain.
