The worry is people relying on someone else with a title to make decisions who only have a fraction of information but people give themselves permission to turn off critical thinking. Getting from a park or alley people means you need to take responsibility because no one is looking out for you. In a store setting or expert setting many will blindly accept instructions designed for the average because someone sounds official (even if official is just trying to sell more product)
- otherme123 3y agoThis sounds logic on paper, but in reality is flawed: in an alley you almost never know what are you putting in your body, and you never can really make an informed and critical decision. Alley drugs addicts are 100% deprived of critical thinking, and they will not only blindly accept instructions from other drug addicts but trust that powder they are injecting is actually a non lethal dose of the expected substance. The only real decission you can make is "I'm not putting that in me". At least when a drug is legalized you can start at the point of "this is a 50 miligram dose of 99.9% pure heroin, not laced with fentanyl or rat poison, and I've used this before, so this should be safe for me".
