It’s still a transaction
This is promoting degeneracy among the society and breaking the social cohesion
Both parties benefit
Cocain is also a transaction
I don’t have a problem with that as well though I would honestly never do drugs myself
But even so cocain is much different then bath water
You are not taking into account externalities of such transactions
I don’t think the government should be able to ban it
As I already said, it promotes degenerate in the society which is harmful in the long run
Because banning it hasn’t fixed it
The government should absolutely ban it, there can be ways to properly ban it
But the government cannot properly ban it tho
If ban isn't fixing it because of illegal drugs, then improve the police force
There are ways around it
But throwing money at it doesn’t fix it
Do you think weed should be banned as well?
As I said, I'll have to look at the data
I haven't for weed and porn
Cuz many years ago people though that was worse than a lot of the “bad drugs”
But in some obvious instances, the answer is clear
We already ban selling of bestiality porn
That is also a transaction
i can agree with you that they are abhorrent
but i that the goverment shouldn't play a role in this
They absolutely should
I think we should regulate weed like alcohol
Government is not a sterile entity meant to do nothing
They are a force to advance society
That is why we have democracy
let me rephrase my statement the government shouldn't get involved in some cases and in the other cases they shouldn't ban it but regulate it
with the weed stuff
They should either ban it or regulate it, depending on which is more beneficial
And do gauge that, you conduct studies
most of the time banning it causes a lot of problems
Not really
for example drugs giving money to cartels
You have to look at the empirical evidence
And in many of those cases that is failure on the part of the government
i agree
