It could also be the psychiatrist realizes it's bad but, being in a group probably filled with bad habits, has to pick which battles to fight.

- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> and yet the only way many addicts can get and stay clean is through exactly a zero tolerance approach As long as pointless hostility gets a pass (as it does in your reply) and is allowed to be part of a solution - it isn't a great solution.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoI have a friend who makes a good tech salary and lives in $LARGE_CITY, and she and I have compared notes on mental disorders over the years. She enjoys her drugs, of all kinds. She worked hard to connect with a psychiatrist who could both prescribe the sorts of drugs she's into, and also not shame her for the recreational drugs she does on the side. She pays out-of-pocket for the privilege. It became apparent to me that she's not really into treatment of her condition or healing, or repairing her relationships with friends and family. She just seemed to be on a hedonistic journey of seeking pleasure. So you can decriminalize and reschedule all the drugs you want, but people will self-medicate, and find dangerous uses. People who use illegal or OTC or alternative treatments will not always report those to their physician or pharmacy. Even if they do, all interactions are not known, but many dangerous ones can result from trying to put someone on psychotropics while they're under the influence of something else.
