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.
gollark: Because alcohol is easier to make (I think) and more ingrained in our culture.
gollark: ... no.
