Woah woah woah, lets not get crazy, no one is trying to ban gambling! Just advertising it.

Whooo, thats a close one eh? Ban gambling. Ha! Whats next, ban cocaine?

I mean I think it should be legal. But also my main issue with legalizing cocaine is with the human suffering involved in its production. But we need to have no illusion here, gambling is an extremely addictive behavior with high destructive potential.

The main issue with cocaine is that its pretty addictive and absolutely wrecks your body if you do it frequently.

The growing of coca trees is only a human suffering issue because its an illicit drug. If it was legal, it would be grown like any other crop. The issues with its cultivation would be the same issues with agriculture in general.
