        regardless of where you’re from, criminalizing drug use leads to people dying. it’s been a fucking disaster in any country it’s been implemented

            where are people gonna buy cigs if you ban them? the black market. who’s gonna go to prison over it? marginalized people. this is already reality in authoritarian countries

              I said the sale of these items. Not the buying of. Very different prospects you’re assuming I’m lumping into one here

                If it’s illegal to sell, how do you buy?

                That’s literally a prohibition.

                  The point is that you’re unable to buy, but you’re not punished for buying. Instead, the seller is punished for selling

                  It stops the law from punching down on the addicts being taken advantage of (mostly)

                    And if you are caught with it you get charged for distribution. If you can’t buy it, where did you get it?
