It's not Uncle Sam's job to stop you from your own stupidity.
To some degree, yes, it actually is.
If you are a danger to yourself or others, the local authority needs to step in and protect you, even from yourself.
That is a valid state interest.
The one who's wrong is you for wanting to harm yourself, not the state for trying to keep you safe.
