It’s not about ignorance. This is about government legislating outside of the will of the people. I voted for Bondi, but to knee-jerk ban something without any explanation is a bit much.

It’s not the government’s responsibility to dictate safety. They’ve taken the “Defense” idea a bit far. If parents can’t tell or don’t talk to their kids about this, it’s not the government’s problem when they start ODing. That should urge parents to talk to their kids more if there’s a spate of ODs.

I have been awaiting a return of common sence to government.

Bondi “banned” something that was a known clone to an already banned dangerous substance, and there is no legal controversy in her action, as far as I can tell.

Since I do try to keep current on current events, I didn't really require a long explanation of the latest “market based” attempt to sell dangerous drugs to minor children.

The companies producing these products, and those companies selling them, are just the latest variations of garden variety illegal drug dealers.

I am not an ignorant Libertarian, aka anarchist.
“You” want to sell dangerous, mind altering drugs to my kid?
“I” want to stop you from doing so.
The government says I can't kill you to protect my child from your actions.
What makes you think I must abide by government edicts, but you don't have to live within the law?

You want anarchy?

Bring it.
