@Sam2 first of all its not legislation it is something that was decided by the mayor and was passed off to the health board – if it was ever put to a real vote it would never pass. the rationalization behind outlawing recreational drugs is also, (similar to smoking)because it affects other people and is generally bad for society in ways besides for the drug users health (i hope i don’t have to explain this). there is also a major difference between outlawing drugs and mandating personal health choices. the government can advise and incentivise but mandating is a very poor idea. also according to this logic the government should ban beer and other alcoholic beverages above a certain size in food service establishments which they are clearly not.
