Have the morons in government learned nothing from history? The ludicrous "Prohibition" era in the US should serve as a salutary lesson for all lawmakers, to wit: enact a ban and you create an underground market overnight.

Well-said, Christopher! It's apparently hard to keep even monumentally stupid ideas down for very long. Emboldened by the bad example of New Zealand, it seems that the UK will follow in their footsteps. And most likely followed by at least a few states in the USA in the not so distant future, though hopefully not all states.
