The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it would be a disaster for digital privacy.

      Funny how alcohol addicts are allowed to participate in society normally though while no one in any high paying job is allowed to smoke a joint.

        Alcohol, cigars and then… cocaine, LSD, crack? Are you honestly making this comparison?

        Could you look someone in the eye and tell that cocaine and tobacco are the same thing?

          I am not saying crack or other drugs are harmless, but man, have you ever seen an alcohol addict? It completely destroys your body, mind and family (which you like to mention when it comes to other drugs). You can absolutely compare it to crack.

            I see, so you’re arguing we must ban both alcohol and drugs? You bring a hard bargain, I’m interested in the connotations of this.

              This has already been tried and didn‘t work. People consumed it anyway (surprise).

                  Can you tell me how it affects or even hurts anyone if someone is smoking weed at home? There is literally no point in making it illegal. What you can do is making it illegal to do certain things while under the influence of drugs, for example driving a car. And guess what, exactly this happens with alcohol too. But making the drug itself illegal is imo a bad idea.

                    We’re progressing, we’re already talking about limitations and regulations and control in general!

                    This has been productive for both of us, keep up walking the good path, friend.
