QUOTE (LurkerOutThere @ Sep 5 2011, 11:05 AM)  It's kind of amusing when you think about it, with all the corporate run dystopia going on there's sitll laws against the drug trade. Yeah, it's strange. Perhaps it's to keep housewives worried about drugs instead of about corporate nastiness. Keep the proles distracted and all. |

Two reasons for that:One: There is a possible link to neurological damage done by CalHots, which is debated quite extensively. BTL chips do cause neurological damage as well as extensive psychological damage. This, in turn, creates lots of social and cultural issues that are very, very negative. Which is never good. It's the opiate of the masses, and keeps them quiet, until it either stops working, or, worse, possibly makes them sociopaths. It's the same reason that Heroin and NovaCoke are illegal, but are considered "Soft Drugs" now, compared to chips. Two: As Seriously Mike put it, "Keeping the Monopoly". Aztlan has some of the strictest anti-drug policies on the planet, provided said drugs aren't made by Aztechnology. A common cold remedy in the CAS is a nefarious and illegal street drug in Azzie-Land that'll get you ten years in prison. An Aztlaner prison at that, so it might as well be a life sentence, 'cause your chances of getting out alive... |

Urban Brawl is like Rollerball or The Running Man.
