I used to think this but I think society has figured out something better. It has figured out that many people can use drugs effectively and many people are worthless on drugs.

So what it does is that it allows you to use as many drugs as possible when you're something like a high-income professional and sort of criminalizes drug use among working class people.

Your "test" for being a safe drug user is to have a lot to lose.

Drug use is rampant in SF for instance. And I know lots of drug users: cocaine, MDMA, psychedelics.

I used to think "why doesn't society just make you post a bond that lets you act in a slightly more unrestrained manner" and now I've realized society does! You just have to constantly be in a state of having too much to lose.

Personally, I use shrooms frequently (I have some in my fridge right now) and LSD less frequently and MDMA rarely. All of these have been amazing eye opening experiences and I am a much better person for them. Thank God.

All a coastal California perspective of course.
