Another possible analogy...

We'll legalize marijuana...

...But criminalize the stuff needed to injest it (cigarette papers, pipes...of all kinds..., aluminum foil (can be used to make pipes), the inner paper roll from toilet paper and paper towls (can also be made into pipes), glass, plastic or plexigals tubing (including PVC), and Betty Crocker brownie mix.

What am I missing?
