What are things that are illegal today that could become legal in 50 years?

And yet that little factlet has zero bearing on anything in this discussion, you just saw an opportunity to be snarky and jumped
that's very needy behavior son
The discussion is about things that are illegal today that could be legal in 50 years. Slavery itself falls outside that topic because it is already legal. That isn't trivial or splitting hairs, nor is anyone being snarky by pointing that out. It's just a fact.
Boy, if you're going to act like a know-it-all you should at least know a bit more.

In my state, it is already legal to buy supplies for growing mushrooms, possess an amount for personal use, and give and recieve them without payment. You just can't sell them for profit.
For how long? You live in a fucked up country. How long before feds start arresting people in legal states.

The main thrust of my argument, that you seem so determined to ignore for imaginary internet points, is there isn't press gangs roaming around and kidnapping people into slavery, and there will be within 50 years.
This does not currently happen legally in the United States
BUT
You adjusted your cokebottle glasses and 'UM ACKKTCHUUUALLY'd the prison exemption
Not because you had anything useful or interesting to say, but rather to see your own writing and get a reaction. I don't think you really understand how irritating that is as a personality trait, and is likely the reason you are so lonely

So when slavery for non-criminals ended, they just started making more black criminals (and criminals in general).
I don't think it's pedantic to say that slavery is still legal when there is an entire industry built around that currently legal slave labor.
You don't think at all and people like you are a big part why the internet has gotten so shitty

A. You didn't articulate that until just now so how could anyone know what you meant unless you actually said it?
B. Are you aware of what ICE has been doing, because that sounds a lot like what ICE has been doing. More prisoners = more "prison labor" (to be clear, that means slaves). Although, to be fair we don't actually know where most of their victims have gone.

Edit: brain farted - I misread it as 'things that are legal today that will be illegal in 50 years. And was thinking of America specifically. Don't mind me. Move along.

No, the reason the internet is shitty is because of consistently, factually wrong, and overly aggressive assholes such as your self.

yesterdaySexbots / Robotic Prostitution.
Might not be as advanced as in scifi, but...
Its more or less a perfect loophole for strip clubs.
Its not a person servicing you, you're simply paying for temporary use of mechanical equipment, like a gym.

Why stop at owning politicians? Corporations already have a sort of Personhood. Just run the company itself for office.

It is in some countries already.
Some US states as well, at least it was a couple years ago. Oregon IIRC

Kind of a gray area, I guess I mean that I think it will become more normalized and 'more' legal.

Many places are legalizing psychedelic mushrooms. MDMA is being used for veteran PTSD, and ibogane is gaining respect for severe addiction
I went to a weed store and they were selling shrooms and I was seriously caught off guard.
