I know alcohol use was reduced under prohibition
I'm not saying it is
I'm saying you are
Read the book.
if the claim that you're making is actually one of the theses of the book, then the book is nonsensical and not empirically based as well
In my country, there are what we call 'safe injection sites' being opened in many metropolitan zones, which are effectively government funded opium dens
but I doubt that is one of their claims
have you read the book?
me rn
we already tried not having a welfare system
you know what happened?
No
we got a welfare system
In the cities where these policies have been implemented most actively, the annual rate of overdose deaths has increased, not declined
Use has also increased
We can both read the book, and discuss the merits of its arguments.
okay, so you want me to read a book that you haven't read, which you claim says something that I now is empirically not true
Almost doubling, in both cases
no, I don't need to
I literally don't need to
not only that, but its repeatable
it literally doesn't matter to this guy whats what
what matters is his feelings
I never said he claimed drugs didn't reduce consumption, though I'm pretty sure such statistics are completely unreliable anyway.
about what is right
a repeatable phenomenon under many scenarios
yes, you're right its pure feeling
Next prohibition will be on non-reproductive sex acts
he wants so badly for prohibition of something to INCREASE its usage

By 2024
just because of ideology
PURE
ideology
schniff
@Nerthulas you literally don't know if he makes that argument.
neither do you
Now you're just strawmanning.
but I know you made it
But such stats are unreliable
