I realize you are a espousing an extremely unpopular opinion, but something people need to begin to recognize is that laws are only as meaningful as they are enforced. Passing laws to make things 'legal' or 'illegal' are worthless outside of the scope of their enforcement.

> worthless outside of the scope of their enforcement. Not quite, it makes them so they can be selectively enforced against people or things that whoever is in charge doesn't like. This is what is most worrisome about vague laws or those related to social control. They lead to extreme unfairness where enemies can be legally punished and rulers get to do what they like (see drugs)
