Statutory warnings, eh?

How much do the statutory warning and cautions really help us?

We pay them attention only when we want to - if we desire to, else they're just another word formations on the packs. And the regulations guys think there job is done if the labels are in place. How pathetic is that, who the hell would care unless they'd wish to care? Half the regulations seem fake. When cigarettes, pan masala(was that it?) etc can be sold proudly with these labels, I wonder why they don't sell drugs in similar fashion too - well labeled with similar warnings. Why garb half the stuff, when its all out there. Who gave whom the right to decide which is fatal, how much is fatal - cigarettes yes yes, drugs no no? Is that too radical? Before you think i am dying to get drugs the legal way, nopes, me not on dopes :). I just think we should drop the sham. People who want to take something will take it, no matter the bans, no matter the warnings. They'll find there ways to find it, take it and the rest. Why can't it be just left on the individual to decide? But thats too big a question i guess, what would happen in a lawless land, they'd argue....
