JIm, if a person takes drugs while pregnant, than a third person is involved; if he commits a crime, there is a victim, drive under the influence, potential victims.
If a person harms another, whether under the influence or not, they should pay the price.
But as for having no desire to hold a 9-5 job, I don't want to hold a 9-5 (or any other job). Haven't won the lottery yet.
If a person just takes drugs, and dies; why should that be criminal? And if it should be, why do we not in fairness extend that rational to all other similarly situated individuals?
Is the execution before or after the hole in the desert?
