We want to protect vulnerable members of society. they come in all sizes and shapes.

Whom gets to decide and determine who is “most vulnerable”?

Surely they would have adopted different policies on that already if their goal was protecting the most vulnerable rather than puritanical moralism?

Yes, That was implied in the question. Same government controlling drug policy and laws. Your point is?

Nevermind actual policy outcome when there is opportunity for posturing.
