I understand and can appreciate the support people have on HN for legalizing all drugs, but you trying to compare it to the Ivory trade is absolutely ludicrous.

Just take a minute to compare the source differences between a popular drug like marijuana and Ivory. Any thing you can think of that might be morally wrong or hard to scale when it comes to the source of Ivory?
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoYou're confused because ivory is not a mind altering drug. What I'm comparing it to is the global illicit black market that exists because both ivory and drugs are illegal yet are in huge demand.
- adamnemecek 10y agoNo you are confused, they are restricted for different reasons.
