a: cocaine ~
b: trying to train a dog
What:
"The argument that 'it's illegal' is unlikely to have any effect: telling a cocaine addict not to take cocaine is like trying to train a dog that has been badly beaten not to flinch when you raise your arm. Taking cocaine is not a conscious decision like this. Doubtless, over time, these reactions can be unlearned. Just not easily"
