Similarly, "wine/coffee/beer/marijuana/chocolate/etc is good for you" type studies tend to be upvoted because people like evidence that helps rationalize their habits and vices.
- renewiltord 4y agoNo, that is different. Psychoactives we need to create this illusion of therapeutic use so that we can enjoy ourselves because otherwise the puritans will ban them. For instance, I'm under no illusion that alcohol, weed, LSD, shrooms, or MDMA are good for you in general but I have to promote articles like that because if I don't, puritans in this society will prevent me from enjoying them just like I enjoy jumping off bridges, skydiving, or motorcycling. This is my life and the only way to live it is to lie to some people in a certain way. So we're going to have this mutually beneficial world where we have to modify the narrative so all parties can get what they want.
