>>106121626What a retarded argument, should we make heroin legal so that the "series of shady activities including stabbings, murder" would disappear overnight? No because that's not the point.
The point of heroin being illegal is that the substance kills people by itself and it is also highly addictive, the "shady activities" around it happens because of the government's war on drugs.
One is bad, the other is even worse.
CSAM is illegal not because kids were murdered, that's a consequence of the government hunting down pedos, it's because of the lack of consent and abuse of power.
These issues are not really comparable as one is dangerous for physical health and the other is harmful for mental health, however, in both cases the government is the one that did far more damage that any other party.
