Prohibition does not work. More Americans use marijuana, percentage-wise, than Dutch. Conservatives complain about the nanny state yet your first sentence is the essence of the nanny state.

Have any such lawsuits been successful against alcohol or tobacco companies? I don't know either way, I'm just asking.

Like cigarettes?

I think that only happened because they lied about it's affects. If the companies are up front and put warnings on the labels, i don't see them getting sued.

Tobacco, yes, because they swore up and down that their product wasn't addictive.

Not sure about alcohol but there was the big one against the tobacco companies.

Would be funny if all these idiots just sued the cartels instead and they sent their "legal" teams to settle the matter
