It almost seems like risk-averse people resent those who take risks for having more fun sometimes. Smoking, drinking, and drugs making you not able to get healthcare at all is next level Puritan shit
I was raised christian and was therefore deeply scared of drugs until age 21, luckily for me by the time I was mature enough to enjoy drugs at around 25 my brain had developed fully and I was able to try MDMA & LSD with positive life-altering consequences. Some of my friends who didnt have the same fear ended up trying hard drugs at far too early an age and became addicted. Not all of them, but at least those who had self-control issues and mild ADHD.
Things often come down to a genetical and circumstantial lottery, the more we do to minimise negative consequences of bad luck and level the playing field the more we will benefit from everyones talent collectively
yups. and besides that: where to draw the line and how to enforce it? "sugar" for instance...
