No absolutely not.
I honestly don't care what a drug addict does to themselves. I don't care how bad they make their lives. I don't even care when they end up dieing from their addictions.
What I do care about are their victims.
They can't hold down a job. So they are forced to steal to support their habit. Often the robberies go south and innocent people are killed.
Then of course there are those that end up on the welfare rolls. Or get state sponsored treatments.
Why don't I care? Well none not one of them can claim ignorance. Every child is taught in school what happens when you do drugs. Some idiots, some too cool for words types decide that they are immune to addictions and do it anyway.
They knew the risks and played the game.
To legalize it means that we the public are partners in it and own a measure of the responsibility.
No thank you.

from what I understand meth is highly addictive, thus taking away the "recreational" description.

Maybe, as long as the meth users:

- Pay for their own health care

- Get removed far from society if they break laws and create crime victims in order to enjoy their high
