    Well when you have endless gambling adverts now that might do it. If dealers could advertise meth on TV I expect you would get more addicts too.

    Letting companies be pretty much as manipulative as possible and not caring about the harm being caused when individuals fall prey to them seems to be the order of the day. Encourage people to build neural pathways that are severely financially detrimental to them and then sit back while the cash rolls in.

    Mmm, sounds great and should absolutely be legal. Boak.
