I think
1. We need more radical ideas like distributing heroin.
2. I'm not by any means convinced that distributing heroin will actually solve the problem. Clearly, nothing we've done so far has worked. Perhaps this will work.
3. There is some good sentiment behind the drug war. Still, there are a lot of evil pharmaceutical companies which have no good intentions.
4. Pharma firms inherently gravitate towards evil because more money lies there. Perhaps there are a few truly evil execs at these companies, but I think the sith-like aura comes from the sum of many only slightly evil actions. If we remove the money, we remove the problem. But how?
- mirimir 10y agoThe core problems here are profit-driven corporations and advertising. Without those, there would be no need for anti-drug laws. Back in the day, only corporations with public-interest charters were legal. And "get everyone addicted to oxycodone" was never going to make it as a public-interest charter. But those days are gone, so corporations are fighting with each other about which drugs it's OK to addict people to, and which it's not.
