I'm not dismissing his account, so you should read my comment closer. I don't think I would use getting published as evidence that somebody "has their life together". Again, I don't care if he does have his life together. It may entirely fake, it can be temporary, and it can be one account. Look, I'm wholly for the idea of not shaming people who use drugs. I am also wholly against treating drugs which have established track records of destroying lives as recreational or not a problem when used regularly, especially to avoid personal problems. So I'm strongly against publishing essays which tell a soft story to play down the millions of other stories, which this absolutely does. Why doesn't he talk about how this impairs his motor or thinking? Is he somehow magic, isn't the entire point to alter his conciousness? No, it's all positive about drugs. Ridiculous. Why doesn't he point to the side effects? Using alcohol as an example of how "harmless" drugs are is obscene. Alcohol destroys millions of lives every year as well. If he wants to sell tolerance of people's choices in the name of the freedom to ruin your own life, then so be it. Don't soft peddle me bullshit. Could we have a story about all the men and women who had their entire lives destroyed by drugs as a counter example?
