I love that arguement, "I spend half my days stoned and it's done me no halm so that must be the case for everyone in the world"
In what way can breaking the law not be a crime?

That's easy for you to say, with your legal daily dose of strong opiates.

To be fair, there is a massive difference, what with me having chronic pain issues.

I know, I was making light of your painful and distressing condition.

there's a difference between crime as a legal thing in a country
and peoples' opinion of what represents a crime within their moral sphere.

While I don't have a problem with people smoking weed, a friend of mine changed enormously when he stopped, becoming a surprisingly sharp, clever guy. He just did a college course finishing with the highest mark you can get.

A crime is a crime, I reckon.
You can choose to do the crime and not consider it wrong, but it's still a crime.

Laws change though,
Homosexuality was a crime, as was being gay in the Army, or interacial marrige.

Yah', totally, but it was still a crime at the time. Just because you're 'commiting a crime' it doesn't mean to say you believe there is anything wrong with it, or that there is anything wrong with it, but it is still a crime.

but what the term 'crime' represents
changes across time and from country to country. If the government made something like cake illegal, eating cake would be a crime, but at the same time, people could consider it not a crime and the law to be an ass. Perhaps we just need to define terms better before dicussions
