Is tobacco advertisement still allowed in the US? I'd expect Heroin/Meth to be under even stricter advertising, tax and availability regulations than Tobacco if it were legalized. Advertising ban for Marijuana seems similarly reasonable, although then Alcohol advertising should also be banned.

Tobacco ads haven't been legal in awhile, and I'd be fine with a ban on alcohol advertising. Marijuana's legal status is shaky enough that a lot of dispensaries are cash businesses, because banks and payment processors don't want to touch them. We've already been down that road with heroin, and it wasn't pretty: http://www.businessinsider.com/yes-bayer-promoted-heroin-for-children-here-are-the-ads-that-prove-it-2011-11 http://www.businessinsider.com/yes-bayer-promoted-heroin-for...
