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.

>desoldering circuit boards

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

2017-03-29 22:48:00 UTC  

objectively, drug prohibition has been a total failure too

2017-03-29 22:48:11 UTC  

I have to put on the bow tie for this one. It is all about supply and demand. If there's Heroin from Iran and Meth from Mexico then people are going to do it regardless of the law or culture. Weed is very tricky because it can't be shut out of borders.
