The statistical reality isn’t operational for many people. Many people would not want to even begin to look for an underground supplier let alone deal with one.

I see you appreciate the weasel word 'many' as much as I do. It's very handy to avoid having to cite every statement (lol). You're totally right that those people exist and there are 'many' of them. I'm going off conversations that have occurred and caused certain cities, especially in the Peel and Halton regions, to ban stores. Honestly the real number of people who feel a type of way about legalisation doesn't even matter that much, especially when decisions like this are up to already elected representatives and not handled by referendum. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and this is a fundamental issue with the implementation of democracy in the west. For issues that most people don't consider a hill to die on (or, at least, both sides) elected representatives don't end up voting in line with actual public opinion. A prime example of this fact is that legalization only happened in 2018 and not 20 years earlier.

I would've liked to try some drugs, weed included, but I haven't because I don't have contacts and I don't want to deal with some lowlife who will probably scam me. If they made weed legal I would probably give it a spin, and maybe even get hooked, much to my own loss since I, as many other people, lack self-control. (I am against legalisation; I don't live in Canada.)

  I wouldn’t call dealers lowlifes, they provide a valuable community service in more fascist countries like the U.K.

  Your lack of self control should never usurp my freedom.

  Would you also vote to ban fast food, video games, social media, and Netflix?
