Aren't they just doing that with alcohol?
There are plenty of warnings on products containing alcohol. On the box, on the can, on the bottle, etc.
And does that hold you back?

The idea is that stupid people will do more stupid things if warnings didn't exist.

But what about the stupid people who defy the warning labels out of spite?

Yes. It reinforces and is a reminder of what we already know. My Father is in perfect health, and is sixty-six years old. When younger he and his colleagues would go out for drinks at lunch every work day. Hell, he had a wet bar in his office. Would he have done the same had he known the dangers? No. That said, it doesn't sound like he regrets his old routine.

They would have nothing to defy but would certainly find some way to die early.

Good stuff all around but it does take a while to get used to but once you do it's a smooth sailing

That awkward moment when a foreigner knows more about your country's legistration than you do
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country Growing the plant on private property for personal use, and consumption by adults in a private space is not illegal.
By the way, it's 100% legal in North Korea to grow, consume, buy and sell it

It seems English has already been drastically altered, though.

Is this means you couldn't find anything than attack on some minor language barrier?
