Just because the War on Drugs failed does not mean the argument extend on to every other fields.

Social media is similar to a drug because it is dopaminergic, and banning it is very similar to War on Drugs scenario, just a knee-jerk reaction, not an expertise-driven policy
And yet, the argument does extend. It applied to Prohibition, too.
And ban drunk driving works, banning gun works ? I'm not for these kind of policies either but people need more substantiate argument than that.
Of course it all works. The world now has no drunk drivers, and it is impossible to buy a gun. Thanks to the loving government and caring politicians who had employed best experts, most brilliant minds they could find, to ban the bad things. bad things no-no. We're living in ponyland already just look out of the window!
