    Exactly. If you understand the risks or impacts or effects to yourself of whatever it is that you’ve decided to do (not only speaking about this issue but most things in general), and you’ve made a calculated choice to do said thing, as long as it doesn’t harm me or harm other people, I’m totally cool with it, knock yourself out.

    Another current example is the widespread legalization of marijuana. If you’re an adult who knows the impacts of smoking pot, and you’ve decided to do so… as long as your smoke isn’t bugging me or other people, then go to town.

    Why should I interfere with your decision? You’re not hurting anyone else, and you’ve made an informed choice about the impacts to you. That’s ALL that should matter.
