Sure, if it makes you feel better to completely make up the idea that I inexplicably think weed is some kind of super drug, then go nuts.

Why does this horsefeathers always sound like a high schooler trying to fill the minimum word count for a term paper.

1. Oh, FFS; it started out of your dumb Nancy Reagan crack. And great; the regulation of both sucks ass and basically only benefits grifters and amoral capitalists while exacerbating the harm that both cause due to their respective addictive properties. 2. Yeah, the reality due to the aforementioned lack of regulation. 3. NONE OF THIS IS EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO "GOOD."

Different addictions are, d'uh, different. Yes, comparing drug addiction to gambling addiction as if they should or could be addressed in the same ways is a, IMO, obvious fallacy, just like it would be trying to manage, say, a porn addiction the same as someone addicted to alcohol. And the biggest problem with legalization is that the American capitalist approach today is, as it is too many things in our lives, "well, this is technically legal so all bets (pun intended?) are horsefeathers off, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Drug legalization in America has been, IMO, essentially a catastrophe. There are practically zero safety nets in place, and the wildly varying nature from state to state makes doing so nearly impossible. And that's ultimately the problem with all of this horsefeathers; we don't consistently regulate any of it sensibly on a national level AND provide the necessary social systems to help minimize the inherent, unavoidable damage. Your bitcoin bros analogy? Those guys only get to thrive because we haven't done horsefeathers to regulate crypto or the internet. So the reality is you already won. The worst that's going to happen gambling or completely insignificant inconveniences like the provision you complained about at the beginning of this. Gambling as a readily accessible, normalized part of our lives and nobody is going to ever put that back into the bottle.

No advertising. No apps. No gambling games in gas stations/rest stops/etc.. Again, deplatforming works; you make something like this less visible/harder to do then less people are exposed to it/will do it, period (and comparing gambling to drugs is just stupid; they're hugely different types of addiction. Nobody is in physical agony because they can't flush their paycheck into DraftKings).

Yeah, the legalization/mainstreaming efforts for drugs HAS also been pretty ****** and really horsefeathers detrimental without any real safety net/support system/proper regulation also put into place around it. None of it should be normalized. I'm not saying ban it, but it took horsefeathers DECADES to undo the normalization of smoking in this country (and you can see a low grade frantic undoing of that with how vaping/e-cigs were rolled out and tolerated/celebrated as an alternative). It SHOULD be hard to gamble. It's one of the worst possible things to normalize and make easier to do with the throes of disaster capitalism raging around us.

Deplatforming works! Deplatforming works!

Honestly if they really wanted to punish this guy they should have forced him to go to every White Sox game instead of banning him.
