        You seem to be using the US as an example. Countless other countries have banned various drugs quite successfully. Singapore being just one of them.

            Ok, in my defense, I was not aware of the drug laws in Singapore. That was a really really really bad example. Like holy shit they have the death penalty for 500 grams of weed WTF. And you’re presumed guilty just for being around a location where drugs have been used. Yeah I agree that’s madness.

        Not really a direct parallel considering you can’t exactly grow your own tobacco. Tobacco also isn’t sold for any other purpose, unlike barley.

          Lol what? You %100 can grow your own tobacco. And there is a ton of research being done using nicotine for Alzheimer’s and dementia.
