Abstract

[We have arrived at the end. Having done so, I would be remiss not to reiterate a claim from Chapter 1: the moral, prudential, and legal statuses of recreational drug use are, in principle, distinct. Even if my moral defense of recreational drug use is sound, then, one may still deem recreational drug use to be imprudent, an activity that should be illegal, or both. Indeed, we are accustomed to doing just that with regard to other activities, such as riding a motorcycle while not wearing a helmet.]
