What benefit is served by turning a legal industry into an illegal industry? The only drug to have consistently declined in use over the last 40 years is cigarettes.

I supported Eros right through the 1980s and ’90s with their campaigns against the banning of x-rated videos and DVDs but they’re on a loser with this one. I understand they have to keep their members in business in these days of free Net porn but fighting for the right to be drug dealers in the face of the overwhelming evidence that these products cause serious mental health issues and death is not a good look and taints the whole adult entertainment industry.

Why I wonder is the Eros Foundation pontificating against this drug ban? I thought Swan and Fiona Patten had always downplayed any link between dangerous drugs and the sex industry?
