In practice I would draw the line at things that are mostly consumed by addicts. So I'd have no problem being a vintner, but I wouldn't want to be a heroin manufacturer, even if it were legal.
There are various edge cases you'd have to treat individually-- e.g. if the median user wasn't an addict but all your revenues came from the addicts. In that case, again, I probably wouldn't want to do it.

- confuzatron 16y agoHandbags at dawn. Is Mark Pilgrim a big shot in the 'addiction' community or something? I am probably stumbling ignorantly into something by asking that question.
