Not to mention your whole argument is about addicts. Alcohol is a perfect example of a substance with huge addiction potential that the majority of people are able to use moderately and responsibly. I know it's not good for my liver when I go out and drink every now and then. But it's my liver. My choice.
I'm not for legalizing drugs so more people can use them and fuckup their lives. That's their choice. I'm for legalizing them so that the shit is taken off the streets. There is a huge criminal underground because of prohibition. Drug cartels and all that shit shouldn't exist. Let corporations run the trade properly and legally like with booze and cigarettes.

You said it yourself over and over again "might die".... if you use meth, you WILL die. That's the difference. Meth WILL mess you up and destroy every piece of humanity you have left.
If you have a big mac, you can diet. If you drink too much, you can join AA... you can't recover from METH as easily. It's certainly possible, but you'll never get back to 100%. Never.
And the reason I'm talking about an addict is because eating big macs is a habit. Drinking can be a habit. With meth, there is no inbetween. There are no "meth habits" out there. You don't do meth and not be addicted to it.
You can rationalize it any way you want, but meth is a killer. It destroys you from the inside out FAST. The other things you mentioned do... but no where near as fast, no where near as devastatingly.
And as I said before, Meth is a choice that they make for themselves, but there are almost always other victims, such as children. If I eat big macs and die at 80 instead of 90, my child might shed a tear. If I do meth now and die at 40, my child might grow up wondering who I was.
