Ever heard of Amendment XVIII, United States Constitution? :lol:
I'd say there's quite a bit of proven harm associated with alcohol use.

Yeah, I agree (despite a few claims to contrary). But, if industry as big and wealthy whose products are used openly, hell, products that supposedly make you less a man if you abstain from using them, wasn't able to stand to a wave of moral outrage and was shut down to terrible moral/economic fallout regardless, well...

Porn stands even less of a chance. Seriously, in age of SOPA/ACTA, thinking politicians won't tear apart an industry if they can score a few points by it is wishful thinking. Just copy/paste the 'War on Drugs/Pirates' propaganda replaced by 'Porn' and watch support bars in your base rise.
