I honestly don't think humans can control their urge. It's like surrounding kids with candy. At some point we have to regulate it for the greater good ( I think sugar should be regulated like tobacco )

The war on drugs failed, you want to go to war with everything else humans can abuse?

In the end it's up to the person to practice self-control, passing the buck to the government just ends up in less freedom and more black markets.
