- latchkey 2y agoThailand legalized it. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, it may be illegal, but it is everywhere, along with everything else. Singapore is restrictive, but that's across the board anyway. Let's not forget that betel nut is everywhere... another plant based drug.

Incarceration being less diabolical does not mean it is not still highly diabolical. Countless lives were and continue to be destroyed.
- akira2501 2y agoSelling hard drugs for a profit is diabolical. It also ruins lives.

- akira2501 2y agoYou're welcome to start making your own alcohol and then selling shots on the street. I'm sure you'll notice the difference very quickly.
- fragmede 2y agoCompared to selling hard drugs on the street? Technically what you're describing is against the law, but given that people are selling hard drugs on the street, I doubt you could get the cops to care.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoThat is not what we are talking about and you know it.
- pwillia7 2y agoThe state killing people is always unjustified since you can't prove 99%+ really did the crime. In fact, we can show the states and feds have put to death many of their own innocent citizens.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoHard agree.
