Prohibition of drugs

samedi 24 octobre 2020 à 02:00

The DEA proposes to eliminate the crime caused by prohibition of drugs by more vigorous enforcement of the prohibition of drugs. Some drugs degrade and damage whoever uses them, and should not exist, but trying to wipe them out by repression causes more harm than the drugs themselves.

This, by the way, is the reason I do not advocate simple blanket prohibition of nonfree software. It is corrupting, harmful and subjugating, and should not exist — but trying to enforce prohibition of attractive things which are harmful tends to amount to repression.
