"Absolutely correct. cf. Tobacco smoking. " ??? Tobacco indicates to us that the answer is 'absolutely false', not 'absolutely correct' Smoking is absolutely a socially accepted behaviour. We ban it in certain areas largely because it's intrusive to others. It's not fully condoned obviously we don't put it in film or advertise it - but it is a widely consumed product. If Opiates ever reached the penetration of smoking, we'd have a situation as bad as COVID. We already have a public health crisis with Opiods, and they are very aggressively suppressed and controlled. True legalization (i.e. more than decriminalization) would wield some pretty scary problems. I don't even understand how this is not just a rhetorical argument.
