I'm not sure if this is satire or not, but I unironically agree. I'm not some prude. If you really are capable of drug use, go for it. I think it would be fine

I'm not sure if this is satire or not, but I unironically agree. I'm not some prude. If you really are capable of drug use, go for it. I think it would be fine to develop responsible systems to allow responsible people to use it in a safe manner. Usually this would mean rich people with land or yachts. Please take your LSD trips on international waters somewhere. I don't care

And that's the beauty of it. If you could not tell if it's satire or not, then you join the ranks of all those who cannot tell whether I've used the drugs or not. That's America's true condition to use drugs. There must be no externally detectable effect you can observe.

  And that's exactly how it should be. I will sometimes read articles attempting to deflect from the problem of street users by claims that successful people somewhere use drugs quietly without anyone knowing. I honestly don't care if all these people are high as a kite. I really only care about people on the street ruining the cities.

  >That's America's true condition to use drugs. There must be no externally detectable effect you can observe. Well said, though I'd use language with a bigger tent: "That's America's true condition to use intoxicants." As for the wit, its a fun game you play here with other commenters. Everyone reading through this would likely enjoy the long form of this from The Onion, 20 years ago: Drugs Now Legal If User Is Employed >"If you are paying taxes and keeping your yard tidy, we're not going to hassle you if you come home from a hard day of work and want to enjoy a little pot or blow. But if, on the other hand, you're one of these lazy, shiftless types hanging out on the street all day looking for your next high, we're coming after you." https://www.theonion.com/drugs-now-legal-if-user-is-employed-1819566391 https://www.theonion.com/drugs-now-legal-if-user-is-employed...

  You're just describing "living in a society". The more extreme the behavior, the less tolerance there is for someone doing it publicly. There's a non-zero number of coprophiliacs in the US, but as long as they indulge in their fetish in the privacy of their own home nobody really cares.
