Goes against democratic principles.

A democratic way will be to raise a BAN poll.

Crazy how open everybody is. In my country, if people spoke this freely about drugs use, the police would raid their homes and put them in jail.

actually that is what is called a sane country

"sane countries" would ban only the actual bad drugs: alcohol, tobacco, fentanyl, methadone, oxycodone, krokodil, all chemotherapy drugs for cancer, all vaccines, pasteurized milk, ... also, all legal drugs would have zero taxes for the next 1 million years to say "sorry for our war on drugs".

but well, "sane" is a very subjective thing: my paradise is your hell. thats why we need tribalism: every tribe has his own rules, and if i dont like my tribe, i can move to a different tribe. tribalism aka "small countries"

// - if millionaire consumptive behavior - threatens the survival of civilization, - then laws can be created to ban the dangerous consumptive behavior - if they cannot self-regulate

This is something you cannot do before, during and after the New Year or right before and during Election season. Please hide your gun projects carefully during this time to avoid getting arrested due to gun-ban laws. You cannot invoke this phrase to authorities when you try to explain why you have a weapon in your possession, even if it does not necessarily harm humans.

fexe+el (fexe) v. -- search/seek by all means.

ba -- the (?).

kër gi -- house; family.

gi -- the (indicates nearness).

bañ v. -- refuse, resist, refuse to; to hate; verb marking the negation in subordinate clauses.

ñàkk v. / ñàkk bi -- vaccinate / vaccine (not sure exactly how this fits in the sentence if it's even the right translation -- perhaps it has to do with surgical alcohol rather than drinking alcohol).

alkol ji -- (French) surgical alcohol. (I'm certain this is also used for the type of alcohol you drink -- but sangara is probably the most used term).
