Countless legal activities can be addictive, have “negative societal effects” and cause issues with employability.

We don’t outlaw them because people can do them responsibly and we generally don’t punish people for bad things they haven’t even done. Just because countless people are killing themselves with fast food and their families are suffering, doesn’t mean we must ban all good people from ordering a double burger. It doesn’t mean we need SWAT raids for people making donuts because they might become a burden one day.

Imagine saying “we shouldn’t have junk food on every corner for all these fat lards to get more fat until they cant work. Look at all these slow fatties everywhere. There aught to be a law! I don’t eat junk food so it doesn’t affect ME.”

Fast food doesn’t make people act stupidly. Marijuana does. One more time. I’m not getting in line with your pet issue.

You can hold your opinion. Mine is that yours is wrong, yours is that mine is wrong.
