Bogan King posted:^ i thought we already had analogue laws that would cover this sort of stuff. gay picnic defence posted:wouldn't be the first time we tried to ban something with unintended consequences It's real hard to make laws about this stuff because 'drugs' is not a meaningful scientific category, only a social one. Analogue laws don't work because manufacturers come up with new, unrelated drugs in response to bans (ironically meaning legal highs are getting more dangerous). Effects-based laws work if you ignore the million obvious holes, e.g. perfume, flowers, petrol. New Zealand gave up trying to legislate against new drugs for a while and made them legal, but there was a backlash and they neutered the law: http://volteface.me/features/what-ever-happened-to-new-zealands-much-hailed-drug-regulation/ lua fucked around with this message at 11:31 on Mar 8, 2017 |
