This was in 2007. The size of the body of legislation has only grown since then. Literally impossible for anybody to follow every law. How about cutting down on some of that instead of trying to abolish jury trials, human rights, and releasing rapists early?

Fuck them. It does work, just because they’re outraged about it doesn’t change its efficacy.
Most of them are outraged because of government propaganda telling them “drugs are bad, mmkay”, so the government can just spin up propaganda to support health intervention instead.
