There would be a huge up rising and ppl would try to get it illegally. Besides, beer was illegal in the US once. Look up prohibition. Ppl would smuggle beer in the country and stuff and make alcoholic beverages in their bath tubs (I think they called it, "moonshine")
Besides, since cigarettes are physically addicting and people get very sick when they abruptly stop then out lawing cigarettes probably wouldn't happen.

as history has proven there would be a black market but all in all it would be a very positive result. we are much more health conscious today and alcohol/smoking though still around is much less popular and acceptable so prohibiting these items at this particular time in history would definitely start great numbers of people on the road to a cleaner lifestyle.
In the 1920's prohibition people just went around trying to get it however they can with no thought to the possibility drinking was a bad thing but TODAY many know better and just need a 'nudge' to clean up their act.

it extremely is not a gateway drug anymore than alcohol or cigarettes are. extremely the explanation it gets that attractiveness although is by using the fact at the instant by way of loss of regulation sellers often lace hashish with extra risky drugs to motivate habit. Legalisation might stay away from that So the only reason it extremely is unlawful is a few fools and their morality. the actual question that needs to asked: is smoking marjuana a victimless crime? i think of in simple terms like prostitution it extremely is a completely victimless crime. human beings then bypass on approximately knock-on effects to society like ongoing wellness issues. How approximately take care of weight problems and human beings who play game and injur themselves in the past getting worked up a pair of negligible "burden" on our wellness equipment. Prostitution and a great variety of medicine are unlawful because of the fact human beings first and suitable charm to ethical standards and while that fails make some trumped up cost-earnings prognosis which fails upon revision. Prostitution is extra cost-valuable while legalised as are MANY drugs. extremely if hashish have been felony it would ease the stress on our courts having to criminalise human beings for in simple terms quietly enjoying a joint. Pot human beings who smoke virtually under no circumstances dedicate different crimes because of the fact in assessment to alcohol and ice it does not make you extra susceptible to be violent or to pursue criminal events to fund what's an extremely much less costly habit (in my usa, NZ, $20 gets you a tinny) @ chris they often decrease it with tobacco it extremely is actual yet i don't stick to the coolest judgment on your argument, if it extremely is the project then why don't you concentration on banning tobacco? human beings can nevertheless use hashish oil is the element right here in view that that doesn't could be decrease
