Blaming the customers is ineffective, because there's no way to end the demand for drugs entirely - we have decades of prohibitions that prove that[0]. Whether or not you or I would like them to boycott these products on principle en masse is a moot point, because it's just not feasible.

Is that working? I thought we had successfully driven pedophiles away from professional help and into online communities where their behavior is encouraged.
