Doesn't the same apply to alcohol?
- varjag 3y agoAlcohol use exerts enormous tax on society which chose to tolerate it for historical adoption reasons. Adding hard drugs is going to exacerbate the situation, and a number of those are worse than alcohol by any metric imaginable.
- themitigating 3y agoSo then alcohol should be banned? Why the line if only historical?
- swexbe 3y agoIt’s hard to get toothpaste back into the tube.
- varjag 3y agoAlcohol has been with us for millennia, with cultural references going back to Homer. It is deeply embedded in our social fabric. Perhaps at some point it would be banished like tobacco is now. But it makes little sense introducing the prohibition when the bulk of society isn't on board with it.

- NotSuspicious 3y agoYes, it should.
- hyperhopper 3y agoRemember last time we tried that? It was not good...
- ecshafer 3y agoSure. I wouldn’t be against a ban on alcohol also, with the same prohibitions.
