you're crossing way too many bridges

2019-10-19 01:39:01 UTC  

We have too many drug addicts so we ought to make the substances they abuse more easily accessible and this will resolve the issue

2019-10-19 01:39:08 UTC  

>he wants to live in a society

2019-10-19 01:39:09 UTC  

lol!

2019-10-19 01:39:18 UTC  

Nothing worked in Portugal, nor Canada, where these kinds of policies have been implemented

2019-10-19 01:39:24 UTC  

Prohibition makes drugs more potent. It actively creates more addicts, who will go onto to commit property crimes to feed their addictions. This is also the main incentive for private actors to exclude addicts.

2019-10-19 01:39:27 UTC  

the thing you don't understand is

2019-10-19 01:39:33 UTC  

even if tyou started with a perfect population

2019-10-19 01:39:38 UTC  

you need extreme laws to not degenerate

2019-10-19 01:39:42 UTC  

there is less drug use under prohibition than without it

2019-10-19 01:39:43 UTC  

every time

2019-10-19 01:39:56 UTC  

humans will be humans.

2019-10-19 01:39:58 UTC  

>nothing worked

2019-10-19 01:40:05 UTC  

also, not all prohibitions are similar cases

2019-10-19 01:40:06 UTC  

>didn't try abolishing welfare

2019-10-19 01:40:31 UTC  

ok

2019-10-19 01:40:35 UTC  

let's "try it"

2019-10-19 01:40:38 UTC  

oh, we can't?

@Banjod How are property rights not enough? It's literally a net loss to keep addicts around.

2019-10-19 01:40:49 UTC  

no we can't

2019-10-19 01:40:52 UTC  

too many parasites

2019-10-19 01:40:55 UTC  

so it' not a solution

2019-10-19 01:41:04 UTC  

you desperately want it to work out that prohibition does EVERYTHING worse, that there will be MORE people on drugs under prohibition

2019-10-19 01:41:06 UTC  

its clownish

2019-10-19 01:41:08 UTC  

stop paying taxes

2019-10-19 01:41:11 UTC  

it's your duty

2019-10-19 01:41:19 UTC  

Again, read The Economics of Prohibition.

2019-10-19 01:41:20 UTC  

it' not enough because things are not static

2019-10-19 01:41:25 UTC  

have you read locke?

2019-10-19 01:41:26 UTC  

no, I don't think I will

2019-10-19 01:41:26 UTC  

have yo?

2019-10-19 01:41:40 UTC  

its nonsensical, and has never been the case in any prohibition that I know of

2019-10-19 01:41:50 UTC  

Why not? It's probably better researched than any argument I'll ever make. And discord isn't the place for debates, anyway.

2019-10-19 01:42:02 UTC  

I have no need to

2019-10-19 01:42:05 UTC  

@Nerthulas You've never read it, how can you say it's nonsensical?

2019-10-19 01:42:10 UTC  

I know alcohol use was reduced under prohibition

2019-10-19 01:42:16 UTC  

I'm not saying it is

2019-10-19 01:42:18 UTC  

I'm saying you are

2019-10-19 01:42:27 UTC  

Read the book.
