Hopefully some day we will be free to vote for a political party that respects pur bodily autonomy to put what drugs we want and need in our ownbooking.
My body, my choice. And believe me, I'm fucking choosing.
When what you put in your own body causes you to be unpredictable and a possible danger to others- you bet your ass I’m choosing also.
There’s nuance to everything that exists. And oftentimes, that nuance requires one to realize that others live here as well.
D:
We should ban alcohol then!
Well that’s a fun little whatabout, isn’t it?
I suppose “because we’ve already done it/already do it” is a good excuse as any to do, well…. anything we want, right?
I could come up with a number of examples of things we do/did wrong and use it as an example to serve as a viable counterpoint- but I like to keep things in the wheelhouse of the discussion.
Alcohol is the most dangerous chemical consumed by the most people. Any person advocating societal level harm reduction through chemical prohibition and not including alcohol as the king of the problem chemicals is either a fool or arguing in bad faith.
So again, because it’s already a thing, we should just open the floodgates?
Guns are legal, so… why not just legalize hand grenades?
Just because we have already legalized worse stuff doesn't justify legalizing more stuff.
I made this same point earlier. The kids don’t want to hear it, but thanks for being one of the few here that understand that things have nuance.
