Outlawing marijuana, or pornography, or prostitution, or gambling, or even Diet Coke . . . can add to the choice you have. You list all the reasons for doing or not doing something, and if its being illegal is on one side of the leger, that adds to the factors on whether to do the matter.
The sharper the pros and cons, the greater the choice. Agency is increased when reasons for and against a matter are heightened.
Choice does not exist in a vacuum where there are not reasons either for or against a matter. Conversely, the more reasons you add, the greater the choice. And, the greater the choice, the greater the agency.
