The most cost effective route is to ban childbirth. This would cause some difficulty when the vacant cohort reaches wage-earning years, as they wouldn't be paying into The Roosevelt Ponzi Scheme Social Security, but that's 16-23 years down the road and frankly not the problem of current politicians.
Well, 16-23 yrs down the road AI will be in full force along with increased automation/robotics & likely a Basic Consumer Income will be in effect for many/most “citizens”.
If that Government Dole-out isn’t applied, folks will start looking at each other like lamb chops. 😆☕

Comparing cannabis to tobacco is absurd.
Please be serious.

Consuming tobacco is a luxury, not a basic need therefore curbing its use is not a human rights abuse. Again, totally absurd.

UK is setting itself up for a massive tobacco black market. Perhaps private prisons are in your country’s future.
The absurdity isnt an absurdity anymore.

Pot is legalized, and as a result everyone wants it. Where I work, i have had management tell people in large groups stupid things like "dont care if you smoke it outside on break. Just spray down with Axe before you come in. If you smoke inside the building you gotta share with me".

I was at walmart 7 weeks ago, and there were i think 5 people walking around the store toking away. Half the store smelled like you were tied up in the cheech and chong mobile.

And fix the vast majority of health problems too.
That would be called fat shaming under modern politics. During Biden years the American government created a special standard for non white people for height and weight.

Mysteriously it's based on "differences" in body composition. But it means that obese category for white guys is now just "overweight" for blacks

I’m very concerned about the justice systems of all western countries
Corrupt courts and biased rogue judges is worse than anything
A Government should do 2 things
Protect the country from invaders and attack(military)
2. Supply fair and honest court and Justice systems

Entitlements shouldn’t be government - Alas we embarked on that and now they regulate everything in the name of health and the greater good

Anything that doesn't hurt another is a human right. Not just in the US, but everywhere.
Until the many show the few that they have no power, we will all be serfs.
The thousands in power only have that power until the millions take that power away.
If law enforcement stops enforcing, those in power are cooked.
Something is not a human right if it requires the fruits of someone else's labor to produce it.

The thought of that is considered treason in the modern world. Person a in USA is supposed to give up various rights and things in order to make person b living in France feel safe at night.

It's the old joke ask an Indian how they liked gun control in the 1880s
