better off just buying bags of poppy seeds at the grocery store and trying to make some kind of opium out of it

2017-03-29 22:35:20 UTC  

OR becoming a nazi and not doing drugs at all

2017-03-29 22:36:20 UTC  

the meth addicts here will get old electronics people leave out on the sidewalk and walk around for days disassembling it to their piece parts in a shopping cart. I've seen people desoldering boards on the sidewalk.

lel

2017-03-29 22:37:40 UTC  

for days on end

2017-03-29 22:37:50 UTC  

yeah we are the most handsome villains

2017-03-29 22:38:08 UTC  

then when they get to the point of being up for so long they start hallucinating, the get violent and start yelling at things

2017-03-29 22:38:19 UTC  

great neighbors, tbh

2017-03-29 22:39:21 UTC  

drugs are totally fine to just legalize and allow anyone to use at their own responsible discretion, of course!

2017-03-29 22:39:24 UTC  

muh freedom

2017-03-29 22:40:04 UTC  

yea, but clearly legal status isn't working either

2017-03-29 22:40:20 UTC  

this is something that ultimately will need to be fixed with culture

2017-03-29 22:40:26 UTC  

just like alcohol was

2017-03-29 22:41:06 UTC  

the temperance movement came about because drinking was a much larger social problem then

2017-03-29 22:41:22 UTC  

but prohibition didn't fix it, culture did

2017-03-29 22:41:27 UTC  

Yep

2017-03-29 22:43:20 UTC  

drugs are bad

2017-03-29 22:43:57 UTC  

The temperance movement didn't do shit.

2017-03-29 22:44:15 UTC  

it existed

2017-03-29 22:44:22 UTC  

and there's a reason it came to existence

2017-03-29 22:44:23 UTC  

So did Prohibition

2017-03-29 22:44:33 UTC  

right, that's my point

2017-03-29 22:44:57 UTC  

it was ultimately the culture, not the law, that fixed the issues that brought about the temperance movement

2017-03-29 22:45:05 UTC  

Yeah but it's hard to change the cultural norms regarding substance use. It takes many generations.

2017-03-29 22:45:19 UTC  

I don't know about many

2017-03-29 22:45:28 UTC  

but yes, it's not a fast change

2017-03-29 22:45:30 UTC  

Anyone surprised Buzzfeed did this?

2017-03-29 22:46:06 UTC  

but we've been fighting drugs with laws for 50 years and objectively it hasn't worked

2017-03-29 22:46:26 UTC  

which is why I said, like alcohol, the drug problem will ultimately need to be solved with culture

2017-03-29 22:46:30 UTC  

This video was in the suggestion side

2017-03-29 22:46:36 UTC  

Oh I agree. I thought you supported the temperance movement.

2017-03-29 22:46:48 UTC  

oh no, I'm just saying it existed for a reason

2017-03-29 22:46:59 UTC  

drinking at the turn of the 20th century was a very valid social concern

2017-03-29 22:46:59 UTC  

Gotcha

2017-03-29 22:47:01 UTC  

it was a problem

2017-03-29 22:47:34 UTC  

but it was ultimately the culture, not the law, that made it not a problem. we saw prohibition was a complete failure
