I have no problem with anyone handling themselves any way they wish. I

Exactly. As our instructor in the "Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs" class said

burns, terminal cancer, or a broken back, you'll thank God He put this
little machine on the earth. Morphine is the standard by which all
analgesics are measured."
