Ah, so like prohibition ? Cause that worked so well for alcohol and drugs ?


The production of alcohol and many drugs involves a bit less fundamental horror - not that you want a meth lab next door.

Regardless, if you're saying we should focus more on treatment and less on caging people, I can get behind that. If you're saying we should just abolish the law and do nothing on the consumption side - we likely disagree on the harm done or the role of government in society.

Same. But just lately it seems like the push is toward normalization, and that complicates the matter considerably.
