    It’s not anti democratic to make laws against harmful things. Specifically harmful things that make you quickly chemically dependent on it.

    I didn’t say it was. Banning only a specific group is what’s anti democratic.

      Listen we already have age restrictions on different drugs, this is just progressively raising the age limit on a specific one.

      The alternative is ban them outright, putting thousands of people immediately out of work, leave small businesses with thousands of dollars of garbage stock, and leave addicts without any supply.

      Do you think that or continuing unrestricted sales are better options? Go cry more, stop advocating to flip the table.

        You’re pleasant. That’s very tortured logic to avoid the obvious that they’re banning other people from using something that they aren’t willing to ban for themselves.
