The wave of designer-drug poisoning (dopalacze) in Poland [48]
How many legitmiate businesses produce pseudo-plant food, pseudo-incense and other designer toxins? If they were all put out of business, the GDP would not budge a bit.
We're not talking about pseudo-producers, we're talking about actual producers. You said above that if they got closed down, it wouldn't matter, even though they're entirely legitimate businesses. I know you're a chip off the old block, but we've moved on from the days of legitimate businesses being destroyed because of political aims.
The greedy bastards who will destroy everyone and everything for their ill-gotten profita can be f*cked!.
We're not talking about those ones - we're talking about the legitimate businesses that you would burden with huge costs while supporting the big pharmaceutical companies.
BTW are you getting paid for your lobbying?
Lobbying on behalf of who? I'm entirely in agreement with you that something should be done. I just don't believe the right way is to destroy many legitimate businesses.
For what it's worth, prohibition rarely works. Producers can just move to another country and sell via the internet. In places such as Ukraine with such huge corruption, it would be trivial to gain approval for pseudo-pharmaceutical drugs there and to sell them online. Customs cannot open every parcel - the days of widespread mail opening has long gone.
The best and easiest way to deal with the shops at least is to get them under existing health regulations. But have you considered that the shops themselves are a sort of "useful idiot" type of business? Keep an eye on their clientele and they'll lead you to more interesting things, etc etc?
