This is the way.
Yes because prohibition works...
You seem to be using the US as an example. Countless other countries have banned various drugs quite successfully. Singapore being just one of them.
Oh yes, let's all adopt the magical laws of Singapore and start beating people with sticks and HANG THEM for drugs.
Fucking ludicrous, how the fuck could you speak like Singapore's draconian laws are a good thing and they've 'successfully' banned drugs. By human subjugation.
Ok, in my defense, I was not aware of the drug laws in Singapore. That was a really really really bad example. Like holy shit they have the death penalty for 500 grams of weed WTF. And you're presumed guilty just for being around a location where drugs have been used. Yeah I agree that's madness.
Nice, love the realisation. Good man
Not really a direct parallel considering you can't exactly grow your own tobacco. Tobacco also isn't sold for any other purpose, unlike barley.
Lol what? You %100 can grow your own tobacco. And there is a ton of research being done using nicotine for Alzheimer's and dementia.
