It’s a lot easier to get drugs without connections than it used to be. A couple hundred bucks of Monero, the tor browser, and a DanceSafe testing kit with fentanyl strips is all you need.
> Where the responsible casual adult drug users at???
Quietly getting high and not broadcasting their drug use. There are a lot more than you think. I was recently surprised to find out that one of my childhood friend’s parents, who I had considered to be the most straight laced and/or puritanical family in the community, regularly drink magic mushroom tea that the church sound guy buys for them off the dark web. Once you include prescription medication, the number of people high on something on any given day approaches 100%. People be trippin balls, yo.
- Aurornis 1y ago> Once you include prescription medication, the number of people high on something on any given day approaches 100% 100% of people are not on prescription drugs. Most prescription drugs do not have euphoric or “high” producing effects. Even among drugs with recreational effects, people who take them as directed at therapeutic doses will not be “high” when using them regularly. The person who has taken the same dose of Adderall daily for ADHD for a decade isn’t buzzing and getting things done like someone taking their first 10 doses they borrowed from a friend. The chronic pain patient on a stable dose of a opioid is certainly not feeling a buzz, just temporary relief from their pain. The recreational effects are short lived. We need to stop this false equivalence between people taking medication and people being “high”.
- throwup238 1y agoGreat point, I didn’t mean to make that equivalence and that last line was made in jest. In my defense, I haven’t had my coffee with Bailey’s yet (cough :).
- amanaplanacanal 1y agoCaffeine and alcohol are both pretty popular, and I would guess the majority of adults take one or the other or both. I'm willing to be educated if someone has numbers.
- quesera 1y ago> We need to stop this false equivalence between people taking medication and people being “high”. Fair. But we should do the same for the false non-equivalence between alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and "drugs"! At which point, GP's 100% comment is a reasonable approximation of truth. :)
