    You can famously do only one thing. As long as there are hard drugs, the government can not do anything about a legally obtainable, but wrongly used material, that is a serious health risk…

      You can famously only allocate funds to do a limited number of things.

      You can get high on all sorts of legal substances that have legitimate uses or are just ornamental. Is France going to work on getting rid of all of them? Make nutmeg illegal? No San Pedro cactus in a pot in your home? Make cough medicine useless by removing the dextromethorphan?

      Or maybe we can acknowledge that this is just not really something to allocate resources toward when there are better uses?
