Again, human ancestors have not "evolved over millions of years" to deal with regular respiratory viral infections like we see with SARS-CoV-2. You're thinking of bats.

The only way to win the war on drugs, is to end the war on drugs.

Both Portugal and the Netherlands decriminalised possession. They have seen massive drops in deaths and crime.
