Obvious nonsense - criminalizing across the board is self-evidently more restrictive than criminalizing under certain circumstances.
What was once a dozen or so pages of penal code to ban it completely becomes thousands of pages of inherent boundaries to manage the resultant fallout.
The intrusiveness of law is not well measured by the page; see above.
Talk about obvious nonsense. The very criminalizing under certain circumstances is what I'm talking about. Those numerous certain circumstances will have to be defined, in excruciating detail, monitored, enforced, funded, and prosecuted when violated - all by force of LAWS.
It gives Big State growing hormones.
