Prohibition never works. Even if you put an anti-corporate spin on it.
How do you figure?
Seems to be working against Asbestos companies.
And if anyone tries to cut up engineered stone onsite, it will be obvious. In fact, companies are getting actively fined. And my mate who got silicosis I'm fairly sure got a payout.
Seems to be working fine with our Gun control.
Seems to be working for lots of food items
Seems to be working for lots of things. You simply don't realise it works, because you're not aware of them.
If Vaping is banned, shitheads aren't going to be vaping in public blowing smoke in our faces. And, if they're smoking at home, people like myself can kick them out. I'm not too fussed about the ones who are respectable (I had a housemate who smoked weed, but they did it outside).
Do you really think allow free sale of highly addictive drugs like meth is a good idea? Fuck No.
You keep telling yourself you're a badass fighting against bootlickers or whatever. But you're actually just a pawn for the multi-billion dollar Tobacco industry
The fact that you think banning asbestos in construction is similar to prohibition is evidence your education system is fucked too.
The fact that you took my entire response and only responded to 1 part of it says everything. Prohibition has been effective against drugs. Just look at Denver as an example for what happens when they're legal vs not. The whole city smells like weed now and it seems like everyone is using. If you legalise cocaine, guess what will happen?
Before prohibition drugs were being sold at every street corner.
Even you know your argument is weak, so I won't be responding anymore. If you want cancer so much, there are easier ways for you to get it. Id rather the people around me live, and I'd rather live a long life too. As others have said, go get help. You have an addiction. I don't care already since I live in Australia and happy that shit like that is being increasingly banned.
And it's ridiculous you accuse others of bootlicking in this case. There's nothing more sheepish that sucking up to companies that trade YOUR health and YOUR money so THEY can be fucking rich
Hahahahaha
