    Maybe but read into the history of prohibition and its pretty clear that ‘making it hard to start’ carries much bigger problems for society than any individual risk of addiction.

    Criminalization feeds Black markets, which leads to more organized crime. Also creates stigma which makes addicts less likely to seek out help. If you care about addicts, or society, dont advocate for ‘making it harder’. It’s antithetical to those positions, as it doesn’t help ANYTHING.
