Inhalant abuse might be referred to as victimless, in the same sense that being an alcoholic can be described that way. The problem becomes the burden on the greater society when the drive, or need hospitalization or rehabilitation.

What is a victimless crime?

A victimless crime is a term applied to a crime which generally has no direct victim, (e.g.: as in the crime of illegal possession of drugs). Victimless crimes must be truly victimless. In many ways, a false statement offense is considered a victimless crime, but in which, society at large becomes the victim. The victim, for purposes of a victimless crime, is the societal interest that has been harmed.

Should victimless crimes be free from governmental interference?

Yes, victimless crimes should be free from governmental interference. The answer flows naturally from the answer to the question: "What is the proper role of government?" In the United States, the original role of government was to protect the individual liberty and freedom of the individual. In a victimless crime, no individual is impeding the liberty and freedom of another individual. Thus, the government should have no liberty/freedom interest to protect and should be indifferent to the "crime." Unfortunately, the government has transformed into an opposite role--that of mandating that the individual behave in accordance with the way that government thinks the individual ought to behave. Therefore, enforcement of laws against victimless crimes is a rejection of individual liberty and freedom and an acceptance of fascism/totalitarianism. In a "victimless crime," the government believes the individual has violated the government's ideal behavior. Indeed, when the government punishes an individual for committing a victimless crime, the only true victim is the individual, who has been punished.
