The "criminal activity" in question is drug use and drug sharing. Nothing else. The only thing criminal about it is the truly evil and criminal activity of drugging children with "legal" psychoactive chemicals while outlawing recreational drugs (except the truly dangerous addictive ones--alcohol, tobacco, and refined sugar--whose consumption is actively encouraged [or mildly discouraged in the case of tobacco] as a source of profits and taxes) and persecuting their users.
