In today's show we will discuss whether drugs have an adverse or beneficial relationship with ones way of living and whether or not it is within one's liberty to destroy their body with drugs. According to John Stuart Mill's conception of liberty, it seems that using drugs is within one's liberty so long as it does not harm anyone else. However, determining the relationship between using and/or abusing drugs and how it harms others is unclear. Can recreational drug use serve as a benefit to humans? And should the purpose of laws be to protect us or to encourage our flourishing? As always we encourage our listeners to call-in with insights, comments or disagreements.
