kind of like we're allowed to decide whether to do heroin or not...

It has been decriminalized in recent past, it’s not off the table.

In New York? Interesting.

But if you're being facetious, that's why I specified "that" addiction.

I mean, if they banned everything that was harmful and addictive, then nicotine and alcohol would be banned too. But clearly they don't. Yet those are banned for children.

I think that should also be allowed, but only under medical supervision. Ideally, there should be a legal path to pretty much anything you want to do, with controls in place to protect the public from your choices.
