Even if they can't handle it, who cares if people harm their health by choice? They're inferior people anyway. I'm more concerned with what happens to people who make intelligent choices.

And as for money transfer, do you enjoy seeing all this money going to Mexico, Columbia, etc?

Prohibition does not work. More Americans use marijuana, percentage-wise, than Dutch. Conservatives complain about the nanny state yet your first sentence is the essence of the nanny state.

You can't save people from themselves.

1) No one can.
2) It's not your job anyway.
3) All kindsa shit goes real bad real fast if you're dumb enough to try anyway (history has proven this)...and
4) It only makes the original problem worse.

Have any such lawsuits been successful against alcohol or tobacco companies? I don't know either way, I'm just asking.
