What we consider it is completely irrelevant because it’s based on our emotional reaction.

Politics is all about emotional reactions though. Is it more important to you to reduce the harm of drug taking, or do you find the idea of drug taking to itself be so immoral that harm as a result is actually desirable?

I find people taking this stance, shortighted and stupid. They complain about drug addicts, on the streets and stealing their shit, and all sorts of problems caused, harming themselves. And then they want even more of that, as a solution!

Yes, people often hold one thing to be negative, while finding a potential solution to that negative thing being even worse. That isn't really stupid.

Fair! In this case I just think it is idiotic, since there is an alternative offered, that fixes a lot of the problems. But no, they do not want that, but rather suffer more. Not believing in scientific results, nor logic, is stupid! But yes, people often are, when it is about beliefs and emotions.
