So it's difficult to make these things outright illegal, even if most of us are like, well, yeah, just make it illegal. Who cares? The other problem is most people who gamble and most people who do marijuana do so responsibly and to great effect. And it's a great time. And so you're saying, okay, well, literally one or 2% of people are having a problem.

We're going to ban this for 98 or 99% of the rest of you. But that seems kind of curious, right? If we took children into account as citizens of our country, which they are, can you imagine like banning everything for adults that should also be banned for children?
