Yes, I do. Heroin was widely advertised before it was banned, and I don’t see why those same commercial pressures wouldn’t lead to it being advertised now if it were legal. It’s not even a lie to say that it works as a cough suppressant!

Weed is legal in many places, are there ads everywhere there?

Also Coca-Cola should be allowed to use a real coke extract. I doubt they will as they cannot even use a real sugar in USA anymore.

  • Cannabis has become legal 1 1/2 years ago here and now there is a lot of advertising and the smell is everywhere. I wasn't a fan before, but now I want it to become illegal even more.

  • >Also Coca-Cola should be allowed to use a real coke extract.

    They do. It's bought from a Peruvian state-owned company and the cocaine is extracted for medical use.

So, you can’t make something legal, but ban advertising it? Seems like a user error.

Some countries don’t even allow advertising legal and OTC pharmaceuticals.

  • If you had the lobby to make it legal, surely you also have the lobby to allow advertising. Especially after there are legal companies who would benefit from that.
