I was just wondering in my pea sized brain how making things illegal in the past has worked out.. hrrmmm

[–] DingoBilly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sometimes it works out great (banning guns in Australia for most people), other times it's terrible (banning alcohol in America).

But in general, vapes are shit and should be banned. No issues there. This producer will soon be blocked pretty easily.

Notice my next comment clarifying that I am talking about mind altering substances. You may think vapes are shit but they wouldn't be around if people didn't like them plus no major second hand or terrible smell like traditional cigarettes homie.

Your brain is pea sized indeed, because any nominal amount of wondering should make you realize it has to be taken on a case by case basis. Otherwise we should just make everything legal, no?

[–] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is going to blow your mind but I believe all mind altering substances should be legal and available to purchase if you are 21 years of age. This takes money away from the black market organizations and can help fund rehabilitation facilities/drug education/college scholarships.

People should be able to kill themselves as well if they choose to.

Given what a pack of absolute shit cunts Australia has been towards NZ in recent years, I fully support any company that wants to make life difficult for the Australian authorities.

This seems familiar. Perhaps the British did this before?

I’m willing to go to war against this vape seller.
