Change of position - All drugs should be legal

[Dystopia]

Well it is of consequence to the person doing it. It's terribly unhealthy and can ruin lives. 

We should discourage by educating/warning people how bad it is. It's really worked for cigarettes.

In what way is a THC-infused chocolate chip cookie consumed in the privacy of my own home "terribly unhealthy" in relation to a regular one?  In what way is THC eaten - not smoked - harmful to anyone?  Got a link to a study, or something?

That aside, I believe what worked for cigarettes largely, was taxing them into unaffordability to minors and young adults, which is traditionally when the pushers tobacco companies got them hooked secured them as customers.  Personally, I would have stuck it to the pushers rather than putting a regressive tax that disproportionately affected the poor.  But that's just me.

I think this depends, if you look at Japan you'll see that people start smoking way later than their teens so it's a cultural thing. I think it's ok to not publicize harmful substances to minors, but keep in mind that it depends on culture more than anything else. Anglo-saxon countries seem to be very efficient, for some reason, at reducing rates of smokers and smoking acceptance - But just go ask any French how smoking laws are  working and you'll see how it really depends on social mentality. Where I live, it is normal for kids as young as 13 to smoke next to the school, and cigarettes are expensive as shit. In fact, I think there's a law saying you can't smoke in some places but no one respects it, not even cops. I believe drugs should be taxed, but I think overly taxing is unfair because it simply hurts the poor the most and the rich can smoke as much as they wish. Do you think this is fair? I mean, my parents are two middle class respectable citizens and they smoke counterfeit tobacco (which is as legal as weed is for the record), not because they were going bankrupt but since they had the chance it is cheaper anyway. It is important to try to predict the consumer's behavior without trying any measure. It is better to have more smokers (or any drug consumers) paying less tax per product but actually buying and paying that tax, than to have a significant part of consumers alienated in the black market.
