We don’t have to extrapolate from tiny countries, we can use our own experience with alcohol.We dont really have any evidence to go on, do we? I think extrapolating from tiny other countries might not be valid, anymore than extrapolating from the late 1800s. I also think that unintended consequences are a real thing. And that no orphanage is a replacement for a decent family home.
We already have the consequences because we already have the drugs. The difference is that if a person gets into the judicial system it greatly impacts their lives. How many of those kids are in the foster system because mom got busted for illegal possession? How many kids are orphaned every year from ODs right now?
