    what a braindead take. you actually just skipped history entirely didnt you? look up prohibition for a summary of what happens when you try to make anything people are motivated to do illegal. literally all it accomplishes is wasting a fuck load of government money, handing money and power to drug dealers, and getting a ton of people hurt. the harder you try to enforce it the more money and power you hand to people willing to break the law to meet the demand and the more money and effort you waste.

      You are twisting my words. I never said it was a good idea or a good law. I was mostly replying to the text in the OP.
