Wishing a very chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder on every dumbass calling this authoritarian
I just don't understand how a group of people who are all for drug legalization are suddenly supporting a policy like this (from a Tory no less)? Why are we suddenly in favor of drug prohibition? Am I missing something?
Like 85% of people in the UK are non-smokers, so I'm presuming it's some NIMBY-lite thinking: "I don't like smoking so I need you to make everyone stop".
What's the public health effect of legalized cigarettes vs, say, pot? Are cigarettes being banned to provide pretext for cracking down on radicals or minority communities?
Communists are generally in favor of legalizing fucking heroin lol. ETA: Full drug legalization means full drug legalization. WE also want to treat drug addiction like a public health issue of course.
Hey what was Eric Garner doing when he was killed again?
