Things like drugs. I know when the government banned alcohol, they had no way of regulating alcohol that was made. (It wasn’t illegal to drink it, just make/sell it.) Anyways, people made this “bathtub gin” that ended up killing a lot of people because it was tainted so badly.
I know there are certain alcohols that are banned because they have a high percentage of alcohol in them. By it being legal, the government can control what is too high of a percentage, what age you have to be to consume/sell/buy it. What stores can sell it at what time, etc, etc, etc
Things like drugs though, because most are illegal, can’t really be regulated. I know marijuana is legal in some states, and with that, I’m sure they have regulations on how strong it can be or whatever. (amount of THC in edibles maybe? I don’t know a ton about drugs) But with drugs that are illegal like cocaine, meth, all that, they can’t regulate it. So that increases the chance of someone selling something that is harmful (harmful as in, the person made it with a malicious intent. Outside of the normal effects) and you can’t control how strong people can make it or how much people have.
If they regulate it though, they could come up with ways to make meth and other drugs not as harmful.
I mean, they used to put cocaine in medicines and in coca cola so if it was okay for people to consume then what happened to make it so bad now?
This can apply to guns as well. If the government bans them 100%, that increases the risk of bigger, deadlier guns being bought/sold/whatever.
