Yeah. The government just took control of / responsibility for water, here. Is in the process of it. Via a new Bill. They found lead in Otago and they found that they had redefined 'normal' levels of lead to be what other developed nations consider toxic. They found dead birds in the drinking water someplace else. They had an outbreak of e-coli from fecal contamination in Hastings a couple years back...
It looks like there is a move to liberalisation of drugs. In the US, anyway.
Not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand I do think that people's private business is their own private business. On the other hand... The social harms that arise from / result from people having ready access to such things...
It is a hard one. Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did. I quit before vaping took off so I've never tried it.
