gollark: It does seem vaguely worrying to me that people seem to treat it/other stuff being illegal as the default, natural state of things.

gollark: Probably. Governments just love illegalizing things for bad reasons.

gollark: Banning alcohol was tried and failed because of that. Banning weed... happened, seemingly hasn't prevented people getting/using it anyway (but resulted in loads of people pointlessly going to prison), and is beginning to be reverted.

gollark: Well, yes. I don't think it's a good reason, but I think it's *why*.

gollark: It's not a justification. It's a reason.
