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 freedom fighter, fighting for the people. But you're the sucker asskissing the tobacco lobby and who clearly fell for peer pressure from your mates.
