    A lot of very important things have already been suggested and I agree with most. I won’t just re-state what others have said, instead I’ll suggest a pet peeve of mine.

    People who say “I love that for you”. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me, it’s always said in such a condescending and disingenuous way by every person I’ve ever heard say it, I just can’t stand hearing it now.

    Leaving a shopping cart in a parking space instead of bringing it back to the cart shelter.

    Willful violations of the Constitution. Right now, elected officials can brazenly disregard the Constitution and the worst that happens is they are told not to do that again in the future, pretty please.

    Production of cigarettes and tobacco.

    As ex smoker who tried to quit so many times during almost two decades - I know how tough this drug can be and that it’s wide acceptance as social norm makes it so much worse.

        What percentage of people smoke cigarettes compared to the percentage that do cocaine? Perhaps prohibition would dramatically reduce the number of users, even if that number is guaranteed to never reach 0?

          Different drugs, which is why considerably more people smoked marijuana while it was illegal than did cocaine.

          And also, at what cost? Look at how many lives are ruined because of the war on drugs. Look at how many resources are wasted enforcing it.

          Tobacco usage is already a fraction of what it was decades ago.

          And everything he’s saying about tobacco can be applied to, you guessed it, alcohol! So we should make booze illegal again? Because that worked out so well the first time?

          (to play devil’s advocate, I also think that alcohol has a much greater case for being outlawed than tobacco for the collective harm it does to society)

      If there’s also a “no” option it’s fine, sometimes I even want the “ask me later”
