Your first argument is the phrase: my freedom ends where yours begins. That’s perfectly good and acceptable. However, someone using drugs (which almost everyone uses, though some the government decided to target) does not interfere with anyone else’s rights. A person who uses alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, Marijuana, cocaine, or whatever else does not necessarily effect anyone else. They should lose rights if it does, not matter the drug, but not for the use of whatever drug alone.

A majority of Americans are addicted to caffeine, alcohol, and/or nicotine. Sure, addiction can be an issue. Addiction is not the issue though. Many people live perfectly healthy lives while addicted to drugs. It’s an issue when it interferes with someone else and should be addressed then. Not every caffeine addict should lose their right to firearms (assuming it’s a right, which I would posit the 2nd amendment does not actually say).
