I find amusing how HN cheers on governments bullying the tobacco industries as far as forcing them to sell smokes with corpses on the packaging, while downvoting any dissenting opinion, but when it comes to drugs that actively ruin hundred of thousands of people's lives to the point years of rehabilitation are often not enough to fully recover, suddenly they love drugs.

Contrarianism? Or is it something to do with political affiliation?

Personally I think prohibitionism was a step in the right direction.
