If the point of the policy is to make the society less dependent on drugs, this makes sense. It's difficult to outlaw what has been once legalized, so constraining the consumption by high taxes make sense while keeping the other drugs illegal.
- pixelpoet 2y ago> less dependent on drugs There, you've done exactly the thing I was talking about! You're not actually talking about drugs in general, because that would include alcohol. You're talking about the drugs you don't like, and the use of language deliberately excludes alcohol from being a drug. To me it's extremely obvious and deliberate, and I'm sick of alcohol trying to get a free pass among DRUGS.
- The_Colonel 2y agoRead again, my comment implies alcohol is a drug by saying "other drugs".
