- electroglyph 1y agothanks for sharing that
- Aeglaecia 1y agothanks for sharing this for people who arent already aware , it would be great for the unaware to search gabor mate's work into addiction too , im not interested in discussing junkies and addiction im interested in discussing the promulgation of drugs to a society that doesn't benefit from it on average
- balamatom 1y agoIf society didn't benefit from it in some way, would it really be allowed to happen? Because sure, it may end up fucking up a bunch of people for whose problem it was the wrong solution. And commercializing it will probably diminish its value in some way. But society is a consummate egoist.
- hombre_fatal 1y agoHow do you know the average person has nothing to benefit from a hallucinogen? It’s basically an old meme that society would be better off if everyone tried it. We get it, you don’t like drugs nor the people who take them.
- Aeglaecia 1y agoit's no good to live your life so instantaneously judgementally , you'll be held back from conversations that you could learn lots from
- nagaiaida 1y agoif drug use is an irredeemable personal moral failure as you cast it, surely you would be similarly unconcerned about anyone who partook once it become normalized; why worry when they'll either count as a junkie to you soon enough by developing noticeable follow-on issues, or they won't, primarily by dint of not having such issues?
- Aeglaecia 1y agoI reply out of obligation to aid your future argumentation , noting that this was the first moral judgement passing my lips
- nagaiaida 1y agoa model of the world in which reducing the totality of a person to "junkie" is morally neutral does not seem particularly useful to me in a real-world context, and i would urge you to reconsider ascribing to such.
- Aeglaecia 1y agoim not going to stop you from discussing the sturdy nature of digging tools that have thick handles and heavy flat blades , personally im gonna call it a spade and move on , all the best
