- stickfigure 4y agoIn the US, opium and cocaine were not regulated federally until the Harrison Act of 1914. So "a century". The first opium war started in 1839, so even in China, "not quite two centuries" is much more accurate than "centuries at least". A good argument could be made that these substances weren't really banned in the US until the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The word "decades" is pretty reasonable.
- cweagans 4y agoI don’t think I claimed otherwise. I’m assuming you’re talking about this: > If you want to buy drugs, do it the old fashioned way - you know, the way society did it for thousands of years prior to bitcoin. I’m more making the case that you should just go buy drugs with cash instead of pretending that bitcoin is the only way to do it.
