If only you had the brain capacity to notice your own hypocrisy...

There is no justice in punishing people who’ve become addicted, and are just using to satisfy the addiction.

You know who becomes addicted? The kid who runs/drives/rides in front of a car and ends up on major pain meds. Maybe ticketing parents who let their kids do that, without regard for the evidence of its dangers is a good idea after all.

Tell that to the kid in my city who got run over by a semi truck a couple of weeks ago or the dozens per week who are admitted to the ER with scooter and ebike injuries.

Exactly. Not sure you'll put 2 and two together, tho.

first good point you've made anywhere in your own post's comments.
