Nah silvers a long time user me thinks. Though I think weed should be smoked only in company of others. Smoking alone just makes you a pothead.
Marijuana (not going by any sources here other than observations of some people I know who smoke) seems to be less of an addictive substance. My point here being that this is mostly because it is not produced by companies, who fill legal cigarettes with substances which ensure a larger number of people becoming addicts.
Additionally, the current nature of marijuana means that it is often difficult for people to get their hands on a large amount, while it is easy to get a large number of cigarettes.

Smoking alone is pointless....fourtnatley one of my are here from UK....hehe...fun times...
And I agree with Iggy its not addicting definatley not as addicting as tobacco, some people say you should mix it but personally I don't like to.
Saying Marijuana should be legalized because it's not as bad as tobacco is a really stupid argument. Tobacco shouldn't be allowed in the first place.

Well then Hamburgers shouldnt be allowed also. You always have a choice...
Hamburgers definitely have an ill effect on state economy, so I could see the argument for why they should not be allowed. I wouldn't agree with it though, as you say it's your own choice. I could see hamburgers being taxed extra though, to make up for said ill effects on national economy.
But the point for tobacco is far more than that. Hamburgers don't cause cancer in people around you when you eat them. Hamburgers don't give asthma or various strange letter diagnoses to the children of mothers who eat them while pregnant. So while hamburgers are exclusively your own choice, tobacco isn't.

I see no problems with properly taxed and regulated prostitution. Brisbane has several legal, heavily taxed, heavily regulated brothels.
Unless they meant street corner hookers. In which case, they should be beheaded.

There's a lot more to it than just memory loss...but okay if you say so

As for taxation - one absurdist Russian writer here wrote an immensely silly (like a defected Soviet ambassador fleeing to his dacha in Greenland and setting out to build a heavily expansionist and generally well-off state, complete with tanks attacking Canada from the north), yet at times quite hilarous and/or thought provoking "alternate history" book called "Pavel II". One thing I really liked there was the idea that watching old Soviet movies, atheism and many other things not encouraged by new state ideology should not be banned, but instead taxed heavily, like beards under Peter the Great. Which leads me to the thought that riots, political activism, demonstrations and so forth should be taxed heavily as well, rather than be cracked down upon. That would discourage the sensible and allow the state to benefit from those immature fools that would still go and demonstrate.
But the general idea is, if anything moves, tax it.

The problem is that violators would still need to be punished, and since these people have no problem with demonstrating or rioting, they probably wouldn't lose any sleep over not paying taxes...so they would have to be cracked down upon in their turn anyway.
Or, since it is a taxation issue, it would be legal to use the polar bears that are on loan to the IRS.

I'd love to see a protest against taxes (like the ones going on in Toronto) under those conditions

Note: The US IRS states they will pay employee benefits in case of a nuclear war aftermath. 
Wonder if NES nation contracts also allow that?

Maybe we could tax tax evasion! So, tax evasion would be legal, but you'd have to pay a massive tax to do so. And if you evade that tax, you have to pay an even larger tax: your firstborn child. If you do not have a firstborn child, then your head will suffice as polar bear food.

Then fine them for tax evasion.
If they can't pay the fines, off to the - Status
