So your arguement takes the following valid logical form:
My premise is that cocaine harms only the user.
Therefore my conclusion is that cocaine should be legal.
Your conclusion follows logically from your premise. I don't agree with the premise, but at least it is a logical argument.
Gobo argues:
If cocaine were legal, you wouldn't have criminal element involved. Well duh. My arguement about murder is an example to show that his form argument is unvalid and pointless.
