Wait until you hear about drugs

[-] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 18 points 1 day ago

A number of drugs that are considered illegal in a large percent of the world do less damage to your body than alcohol, and at reasonable dosages have proven to have positive effects.

There have been a number of more recent studies disproving the previous myths of alcohol ever having a positive effect.

Well I'm convinced. Time to score some meth

They mentioned drugs

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

Somehow most of the things that we label "drugs" (like illegal stuff not like prescriptions) don't throw me for quite the same mental loop, because I'm not legally and socially permitted to just buy those if I felt like it the way I could with alcohol. It feels less jarring to be reminded of an aspect of society that you've opted not to participate in to the point of it's existence slipping one's mind, if that thing isn't made conveniently available in the first place

Yea, alcohol is way worse for you by leagues than weed or shrooms. Those are arguably healthy for you in limited quantities, but not booze, yet that's the one that's legal?? If there was ever an obvious sign that our politicians do not have anyones' best interests in mind... It baffles me how fucking braindead Republicans support the war on drugs. They truly are vile creatures.

They're not braindead; they're making money. They got the war on drugs hooked up just the way they want it.

Doing the right thing is perfectly possible and perfectly easy until there's a financial incentive for it to not be possible or easy.
