People steal bud light. I remember being accosted by an apparently homeless dude with a trash bag full of beer who was handing it out on the tram.

I drank one.

People steal bud light because they can’t afford or don’t want to pay for it, not because it’s illegal to have or consume. The war on drugs had done untold damage to our society by reframing drug problems as a moral problem rather than a medical problem. Black markets pop up immediately once things are banned because, as long as there is a market for it, supply will meet demand.
