Sure, that's fine.

But it also obfuscates the more important point: I can expect (and I do expect) that a reasonable, mature society stop this idiotic practice in the first place.

Refusing to learn from the failures of drug prohibition throughout history is one thing, but continuing a current and clearly failed experiment for an entire century is flabbergasting and childish.

Who will be the last person who's life is ruined for no reason? Will it be this dude? Or someone in the same position tomorrow?
