In law school, we were taught that there are two major reasons for promulgating criminal laws:
1. Mala en Se…the thing to be prohibited is bad, in and of itself (death causing substances)
2. Mala en Prohibita…the thing to be prohibited is bad, because society says it is (LSD, with no known lethal dosage level, unlike Alcohol, Nicotine and Caffeine which all have known LD50 levels).
