To: Sir Francis Dashwood; calex59

As calex59 points out, Hobbes notwithstanding, the laws prohibiting or excessively taxing any substance that has a wide desirability are more dangerous than any such known substance and probably will always be. The only way that such laws can be made to change by a substantial minority is to flout them to the point they are unenforceable.

The quote from Hobbes said the same thing...

"These bonds, in their own nature but weak, may nevertheless be made to hold, by the danger, though not by the difficulty of breaking them."
