> Telling them they can all smoke weed for no reason is not. So now you're putting words in my mouth? > I'm actually amazed you think this way, but then again, you are a foreigner in Japan and those are constantly bitter "Pointing out ways that something you like can improve means you secretly hate it" is not a cogent argument. > that places in East Asia are actually not rampant with drugs and drug abused homelessness. Have you ever been to Japan? I've met a lot of drug users, and I've seen a lot of drugs. I know someone who runs a methamphetamine self-help group and credits cannabis with his recovery. I've met compassionate growers who supply cancer patients with free cannabis. I've been in a brick-and-mortar store that sells grey-market research chemicals from overseas. I know a shaman who runs underground pharmahuasca ceremonies. And last but not least, I dodge drunk salarymen and puddles of vomit on my way home from work every Friday night. Or do you not consider alcohol to be a drug...? > Why do you think I'm commenting here so bluntly if you think I don't know about what I'm talking about? You didn't even know about cough medicine. You have a credibility deficit right now. I've given you names and keywords and falsifiable statements and personal experience. All you've given me is baseless confidence and status quo bias. Throw me a bone! In the meantime, may I suggest you read a book? "Drug Use for Grownups" by Dr. Carl Hart is a good place to start.
