> leaving ethics and society aside for a moment
A fairly important caveat. (Though, granted, some corporate salespeople may actually be worse for society than drug dealers.)
- didericis 5y ago> some corporate sales agents may actually be worse for society than drug dealers Pharmaceutical sales agents are drug dealers. People sell incredibly dangerous and addictive substances legally all the time. Arguably this site is full of button mashing dopamine dealers. The worst part about illegal drug dealers is not the substance they sell. Dangerous destructive things have value and utility, including the worst drugs (to a degree). It’s the lack of transparency and resultant lack of accountability that does the worst societal harm.
- xfitm3 5y agoThis is a charged topic but I do want to point out there is a delta between the actual impact of drugs and the impact that is publicized. In my opinion the war on drugs has little to do with drugs itself and it's more about power and control. Despite the efforts of many governments, including the US government, Pablo Escobar was a force to be reckoned with. His power was built on the drug war.
