Perhaps guard the boarders so not nearly so much is crossing. Would also help stop human trafficking. Just a thought.

Meet people that have have done a lot of drugs? Some can still function. Others, just can’t. Had an owner of a successful tech company see it fall apart because he couldn’t make decisions anymore.

Was a really nice guy, but by the end I might hire him to sweep the floors, but only with supervision. Not sure how he’s doing now, but I imagine he’ll be homeless by some point.

He enjoyed going to burning man a lot.

I have yet to meet a person. Whose personality didn’t completely changed after being on marijuana for a while.

Every single one of them said it didn’t affect them.

Disability straight up laughed at me. I should have gotten a lawyer, but I couldn’t think straight or effectively communicate for a couple of years.

Might be more fun to only check so often ir somewhat random ally. Human nature often it takes a moment to realize something is off.

Bear walks into tavern. Some panic, others are slower to react / notice. A very drunk dwarf might never notice, or offer a beer to the bear.

There is also Superman’s key. Made of neutronium.

Last I tried to calculate (poorly), if you were to touch it. You liquify and be sucked into it just before contact.

“I’m not addicted, it doesn’t affect me.” Every addict I know. Seen a number of people slowly change from it until they are no longer who they are. Never in a good way. Seen some who got off it.

One because her husband has such a bad reaction (after several years of use) that he can’t ever touch it again. She became her old self again. Not quite as bright as she once was, but personality improved to the loving person I once knew.

Got injured (brain). Airbnb and Uber eats is how I kept my family from being homeless until I recovered enough to program again.

Huge advantage being able to go at my own pace when I didn’t know how functional I would be on any given day

Not saying it’s a good company, but saved my family.

Excellent story about the government not allowing anyone to be too smart or beautiful.

Example. If you’re smart, you wear head phones that emit random loud noises so you can’t form thoughts for long.
