Hemlock? If drugs are to be outlawed based on their level of harm to society, tobacco shouldn’t be legal. It kills 7x as many as opioids every day.

- proc0 3y agoThat's just because more people are using. Imagine if just as many used heroine. Additionally, tobacco companies add more than just tobacco, which I believe is the most harmful and addictive part of cigarettes. I'm not saying it should all be banned, but the restrictions should align with how transformed and concentrated the product is.

Imagine if nicotine was banned and people had to get it from dealers who make it in liquid form in huge vats in their basement. There would be a lot more dead from nicotine overdose for sure.
