Please please PLEASE: this question is made from a place of pure curiosity, with no political biases intended. I’m asking because restrictions and prohibitions puts a pressure on the market since the demand never ceases, and someone interested in supply for that demand will do it for massive profits - no matter what. Wouldn’t it be the case for any product, be it drugs, alcohol or guns?
I feel the addiction potential and effects on the body from certain drugs is pretty destructive, especially paired with freely being able to use and recommend them to other people.
On the other side of the coin people can buy guns for competition, hunting, historical preservation, studying the mechanics via dissasembly… Its not really all black and white even though i agree drugs probably have less destructive potential than guns when regulated
