Oh ban cryptocurrencies, just like we banned drugs?

Yeah, because that worked out great didn't it?

Jesus if I could just have a button to eliminate everyone with ideas like that, you wouldn't get my hand off it.

At the very least we could ban commercial usage which would be relatively easy to do while eliminating or at least reducing a lot of the harm. I know it's rich coming from me of all people but you can do things on a scale.

Just a little over a century ago we could get laudanum or whatever over the counter, whenever we wanted. And things were so much better.

Not ONE drug cartel, thank God we went to war, right?

The drug war actually made meth and fentanyl use inevitable, to replace heroin, cocaine, etc. If only we had stuck to the classics.

oh well. Time for my wellbutrin and duozepine and quetiapine and prazosin.

Those are the drugs I have to take daily to stop screaming, because screaming is bad now or some shit

These are excellent points about the war on drugs. None of them apply to things that are banned that aren't drugs.

Be that restricted radio spectra, copyright infringement, counterfeiting, proposed bans commercial bitcoin processing, etc.
