Life is so bad for so many Americans that cheap escapism with a high chance of death is worthwhile. Thats the problem in my opinion because these people are creating demand for something nobody should want in the first place.

Gazing into the sky I sometimes think absolutely everything we do is escapism.

Some of those better things to do may become even better with a moderate amount of drugs.

Not nearly as cheap as a Netflix account. In most markets you can get probably five joints tops for the same price as a streaming service’s monthly cost.

Or, by god, they just give away endless books at libraries. You don’t even need any money for that kind of escapism or fallacious information.

Escapism isn’t an essentially bad thing anymore than is posting on an internet message board. It’s just an issue of frequency and intention.
