There's two types of philosophy about the law. There's the philosophy that laws are meant to be followed for organized society. Then there's the philosophy that laws are about taking (or reclaiming) antisocial elements out of society. The former has always been toxic to me. The latter would say "if a law says something useless or wrong, you should be changing it instead of mindlessly obeying it)
And "people must still obey them" is simply untrue. The fact that people won't obey bad laws is exactly what leads us to this situation.
As I said elsewhere, making the black market stronger isn't necessarily a step in the right direction. Politics aside, I think someone needs to get their head out of their ass and find a better way to get from "illegal" to "legal" without going through "organized crime paradise"
