So, how far do we carry this? Right now, marijuana etc. are illegal. Have you any idea the manpower & expense utilized to go after users and producers? It's in the billions. Let's add the banning of alcohol & tobacco, and see what the bill will come to for the godforsaken taxpayer.

You want to ban everything unhealthy, apparently, as far as I can see, if "innocent" parties are made sick or dead. Well, there's junk food, especially nutrient-free things like coke, pepsi, etc., which lots of people consume by the gallon every day. Consumers of these drinks harm others by becoming chronically ill, thereby necessitating the construction of more and more hospitals and training more and more doctors - don't think for a moment there isn't plenty of taxpayer money involved here.

How about ice cream - even the kind without additives. The combo of sugar + dairy is almost deadly to so many people, but they can't stop themselves because it tastes so good and they are plain old addicted to it.

By now, the bill for enforcement is about $300,000,000,000+ per year, and about 50% of the population works in Anti-Substance Enforcement.

Oops. Forgot about the Biggie - coffee. Superficially, this also doesn't affect you or me. But wait - it immediately fills the need for energy and good feelings, which is why it is so popular, and why the entire economy would collapse if it was made illegal; the overwhelming majority of office & trades workers in boring jobs cannot function without it. I know, because I have worked in offices for 30 years. No coffee - no business - no economy. This is not an exaggeration.

Please tell me where we stop banning things that directly or indicrectly cause sickness & death & suffering.
