We need to treat the rightwing Israeli government like the pariah that they are. If North Korea was selling tools like this there would be consequences. Meanwhile Israel repeatedly sells Pegasus and other hack tools and spies on democracy activists.

The logic, whether or not you agree with it, is that drugs in general are hazardous and can kill or disable you, and they contribute to a black market and all the related crimes of drug trafficking and addiction. So punishments aren’t for drug use but for possession and trafficking.
Edit: to all the downvoters, I’m not advocating for draconian drug laws, I’m just answering OP’s question on why cops and lawmakers have such a policy and the logic behind it.
Also, trolls could delete and reinstall the app repeatedly, forcing the developer on the hook for large amounts of money to Epic games.
Such a Rick thing to say.
When all else fails, there’s always denial and delusion.
No I’ll downvote for the disturbing image.

You’re being rude not just to fundamentalists though.
Timolol eye drops are $10 at CVS pharmacy, $30 without a discount card. If that’s too expensive and you’d rather go blind than spend it, you have bigger problems than I can help with.
You need to read the link I posted on my reply to you, marijuana may be cheaper but it won’t stop the vision damage. It’s like getting drunk instead of dealing with an injury, also “cheaper” in the short run.
Nice that you’re talking down to a doctor and still wrong. You belong on the confidentlyIncorrect Lemmy. And FYI I eventually had surgery to correct it; there are laser treatments and surgical peripheral iridectomy options and not just pharmacologic therapies. You’ve been wrong every step of the way here, want to keep digging?
Your “friends” are anecdotes. Go back and read what I said more carefully next time.
Doctor here, that’s false. Glaucoma isn’t just about managing pain but reducing the intraocular pressure that is causing the pain; treating pain alone will lead to vision damage and eventual blindness. That’s why doctors still advise eye drops for treatment over marijuana even in countries where marijuana is legal.
And I had glaucoma AND went to medical school. Your anecdote is useless and false.
it just helps delay the effects.
No it doesn’t. Glaucoma causes progressive vision loss starting with peripheral vision and spreading to central vision, because the pressure damages retinal cells. Marijuana does nothing to delay that in any meaningful way; you just go blind almost as fast with less pain.
American Academy of Ophthalmology: Does Marijuana Help Treat Glaucoma or Other Eye Conditions?
Any eye doctor will tell you that eye drops are superior than marijuana for treating glaucoma. Marijuana is a painkiller but doesn’t help as well with the elevated intraocular pressure that damages your vision. Anyone who wants to pretend that marijuana is one of the best solutions is lying. Recreational marijuana is already legal in many places, you don’t have to pretend to care about medical excuses anymore.

That’s actually a terrible idea, as it doesn’t treat the underlying cause. There’s a reason it’s not the first line treatment for pain.
Edit: yes I get the double entrendre pun.
It’s so much better than before, but mainly if you’re in the US.
It’s my preferred map for driving; it looks nicer, the voice navigation sounds better and it suits what I need.
Google maps works better overseas but they also crowdsource their maps.
This is so other people are less likely to see that you have L and R for your socks. Yes, I know these are probably inside your shoe, but some people wear socks and sandals.
