Selfish, perhaps. But immoral? Something tells me that your views on this are driven by a signifiant personal experience.
You seem to think that most of the murders are done by those using, rather than those dealing. I think this is a faulty assumption.

1, 2 and 3:
1: Its not illegal to keep serving after last call (OK, OK, that was a bit gray... how about, how much do they pay to bribe bars to stay open late)?
2: Isn't selfishness immoral? How is it moral for the individual to decide which laws they will obey? I mean, we ain't talking about sitting at the front of the bus or disparate treatment based on individual immutable characteristics. And if a right-wing junkie even hints at the words "constitutional right of privacy" as justifying drug use, our coalition is built on a balsa bridge.
And yes, more than my share of experiences with victimized children.
3: Actually, I'd have to check to be sure, but my impression was that a significantly disproportionate majority of those in the criminal justice system for any reason beyond administrative crimes test positive for narcotics. That includes shooters.

I hope the premise isn't that drug use is a religion of peace.
