The cocaine one is sort of left field though, Rupert. While it hurts nobody else -- many laws are codified in order to force people to not hurt themselves as well as others. Allowing gay marriage hurts neither heterosexuals nor homosexuals, so while the analogy was well-intentioned and I see where you were going with it...it doesn't really work.
