arguably untrue. easy to list reasons, however the indomitable one is the breadth of its usage within a free market already qualifies its utility for the masses.
- 1MachineElf 4y agoYou could make a similar argument about Opium in 19th century China, or Fentanyl in present-day US.
- eru 4y agoWhy not about opium in the present-day US? Criminalizing drugs drives producers and users to more potent and compact forms, like opium gave way to heroin which gave way to fentanyl. (Very simplified.) Opium is bulky. When the US outlawed alcohol for a while, the market also switched from relatively bulky beer to harder spirits. --- Aside from that, opium and fentanyl etc obviously have some good aspects, otherwise people wouldn't take them. Duh. That doesn't mean that the good aspects outweigh the bad aspects in someone else's opinion.
