the majority of people can't handle hard drugs, they will ruin their lives and their kids and their families lives as well
'startup founders' like him are idiots
I am on the fence with this, maybe there should be research to create safer alternatives to the illegal recreational drugs. They are trying to make amphetamines and opioids that are safer and not as recreational for medical purposes. Why not make it safe and try to keep the recreational aspect of it. I am sure this can't ever be achieved 100%, but lots of people would probably rather buy some pure milder stimulant instead of random powder from a street dealer. Same with cannabis, the THC content on legal plants should have a limit on the THC content.
The majority of people cant handle coca cola and mcdonalds, cocaine is the least of problems
Alcohol is the one people really can’t handle. The evidence is that this causes far more harm to users and society than other hard drugs.
the majority of people cannot handle a bunch of things. doesn't mean these things have to be illegal
Drugs cause a lot of collateral damage to friends, family, and society, so it is reasonable to treat them differently than, say, extremely spicy peppers.
Making it illegal also causes collateral damage. Drug gangs, taxpayer money spent on jails and enforcement, deaths due to fentanyl lacing, spread of disease due to needle sharing, foregone taxation revenue, incentive for petty theft, adoption of worse but cheaper substitutes (crack cocaine, krokodil).
They never ruin just their own lives though. I am open to something like letting then parachute on to 'Cocaine Island', never to return.
