Right now people spend hours every day joylessly scrolling their phones because the free market has found a way to profit from that. I want fewer addictive industries, not more.

This is true. I don't think parent poster means it should still illegal. Just try to remove the "profit part".
The blood is on your hands then.

Edit: The poster I'm replying to should be deplatformed immediately for inciting violence, specifically for perpetuating black markets that have devastated entire countries, for supporting raids of homes at gunpoint over possession of substances that are bought and sold without coercion, for the inconsistent doses and impurities and stigmatization that will continue to kill addicts, and for widespread incarceration which is targeted toward already disadvantaged minorities.

Did they change their comment? "I want fewer addictive industries, not more" doesn't sound like what you describe..
