thanks 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

If 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.

How 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.
