- it_citizen 1y agoClearly they cannot. They had already banned selling alcohol to kids.
- mirekrusin 1y agoDrugs too. Doesn't seem to stop ones that want to do it though by looking at some neighbourhoods.
- mdp2021 1y agoGiven that incompetent families will always exist, you ban drugs because of the social consequences of the phenomenon - the damages are evaluated as high. For other indulgences, social damages may vary.
- mirekrusin 1y agoThe problem with this kind of thinking is that you're funelling large streams of money into pockets of criminals. You're also not solving anything, in practice people keep buying it - without actual minor controls (unlike ie. alcohol or tobacco) and with blurred perception (ie. same dude probably deals weed, cocaine, heroine, whatever). It is shifting market to black side with all negative consequences that come with it. It creates this disgusting alternative, unofficial layers in cities where law enforcement long ago gave up on enforcing this ban and ordinary people learn/know to stay the fuck out and ignore.
- nashashmi 1y agoIt does stop kids from being openly advertised drugs and makes it difficult for kids to get drugs. That is the whole point of legislation, not to eliminate but mitigate.
- DocTomoe 1y agoI can assure you the average teenager in a western country has absolutely zero issues getting their weed. In fact, the older you get, the harder it becomes (as your social circle tends to shrink once you have a job).
- nashashmi 1y agoI was a teen in the west. And I knew kids who had a hard time getting weed. Some got ripped off with stuff that was fake.
- jajko 1y agoLOL. You should walk around some french cities a bit. Getting drugs for locals is certainly not a problem, despite harsh punishments like its 80s.
- nashashmi 1y agoOk. Now suppose for a minute you go to a city place where you know absolutely no one. Whom do you ask for drug advice now?
- jajko 1y agoThat's very easy - go to area of train station, or some nearby park, and look for immigrant-looking people just standing around, trying to keep eye contact with passers or saying quietly "bonjour". 95% of the time you will get exactly what you want, otherwise it would be some form of "desolee". This is obvious, everybody knows and sees it, en masse (as in you are choosing from tens of such people in given area).

- SpicyLemonZest 1y agoThere's a big cultural gap here. To people who are concerned about porn, it's like asking why we have to stop children from buying handles of vodka. Can't you just educate them to avoid drinking to excess? No, you can't, they don't have that level of self-control yet. Isn't it unfair to the responsible bakers who just want a really tender pie crust? Yes, it is, but they're going to have to deal with it. Won't a determined kid still be able to get their hands on alcohol? Yes, they will, but it matters that they get it less often and less frequently.
- mdp2021 1y agoAlchool is poison. If you handle it maturely, it remains an intoxicant. Chocolate should be eaten with restraint. If you handle it maturely, it remains something not that comparable to alchool.
- SpicyLemonZest 1y agoRight. The question is whether porn is poisonous, and many people (myself included) genuinely feel the answer is yes. Mature, responsible adults can often ration their consumption enough to avoid too many negative effects - as they do with alcohol - but even adults sometimes fail and for children it's much harder.
- mdp2021 1y ago> is poisonous With all due, some may want to advise you to check into that. It could be that it does strange things because of the way you are wired. Please note (about similar corners) what I have already written in the page, "for some it brings a satisfaction and this is an outlet valve that reduces adverse social effects; for some it is a kindler and it will increase adverse social effects". To some it will be the opposite of a poison - it will be constructive. It will depend. This cannot be said of alchool and similar.
- yhavr 1y agoWell, doesn't porn-ish entertaiment fuck up ones reward system? I'm not talking of porn specificly, but about a range of products that turn people into "dopamine rats", constantly pressing a button for more bursts of novelty?
- hk1337 1y agoPornography isn’t an education tool. If anything, it hinders education by setting unrealistic expectations.
- jalapeno_a 1y agoMindgeek is a very gross corporation that’s involved in human trafficking, anything that discriminates against them is good.
