The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it would be a disaster for digital privacy.

combatting drugs is bad. it leads to a black market and unreliable product, resulting in overdoses & deaths

Funny how alcohol addicts are allowed to participate in society normally though while no one in any high paying job is allowed to smoke a joint.
I know lots of alcoholics that still show up to work and contribute to society everyday

The fact that you put LSD between cocaine and crack made me literally lol.
You’ve clearly lived a very sheltered life and have been fed all of your information on drugs from entertainment media.

That was obvious when you posted cocaine then crack.
It showed that not only are you not a connoisseur, but your understanding of drugs is most likely mainstream fiction and copaganda regurgitated as news.
Crack is just cocaine that has been processed so you can smoke it instead of snorting or injecting it.
Disclaimer: don’t Fuck around with cocaine, it dumps your dopamine and eventually makes it impossible to feel happiness outside of continued use, and the use diminishes in its dopamine dumps
Edit: I didn’t even read the comment two up, they had the same assessment, lol

Did you just threaten that user or are you accusing them of abusing illicit substances because they possess medical knowledge of the effects of cocaine?
Locking people in cages hasn’t fixed the problem yet
Even if I thought you were gonna go home and kill yourself tonight, I wouldn’t feel the compulsive need to rub it in your face.
I think you should probably work that all out with a therapist. It sounds like you probably have some CPTSD from growing up in an unstable environment due to parental drug abuse.
I’ve found this channel to be particularly useful to me in my journey.
Best of luck in your healing journey ❤️
Do you consider medical professionals to be ‘drug connoisseurs’?
More like drug sommeliers if we are going to utilize the analogy to its fullest /s
Our drug war is a fucking farce. It is, and always has been, a fascist culture war.

No thanks. But you go right ahead.

Cocaine is not particularly dangerous. Oddly enough opioids are safe if, and only if, the user knows the specific opioid being used and it’s actual purity and doesn’t use improper techniques to use it. It doesn’t usually kill or cause major medical issues if the dosage and purity are known and clean needles are used. Alcohol is a medical issue at basically any dosage. There is no safe way to consume it. Tobacco is in the same category: all use is harmful, smoking is excessively harmful.
The point is we tolerate obviously harmful drugs, some of us refuse to admit they are drugs, or put them in some category where they should not be considered when discussing drug abuse. Why do people do this? As I said, it seems very much to be a cultural issue. Alcohol and tobacco, by far our most lethal drug abuse problems, are accepted as part of ‘our’ culture. By ‘our’ I mean the dominant European Christian culture- white people. The ‘bad’ drugs are all associated with ‘outsiders’, people not part of the dominant culture. Quite obviously also this cultural categorization is racist bullshit. White people are just as likely to be using the ‘bad’ drugs as non white people. So it’s an ideological campaign to justify what has become a corrupt government/capitalist ‘complex’. The failed drug war pumps billions of dollars into the private sector. There is no motivation to stop what is a quite successful system as far as the recipients of all that loot are concerned.
But certainly just simply adopting a harm reduction approach instead of continuing the idiocy of criminalization cannot be taken seriously. After all we cannot compare cigars to LSD.
I am not saying crack or other drugs are harmless, but man, have you ever seen an alcohol addict? It completely destroys your body, mind and family (which you like to mention when it comes to other drugs). You can absolutely compare it to crack.

This has already been tried and didn‘t work. People consumed it anyway (surprise).

Can you tell me how it affects or even hurts anyone if someone is smoking weed at home? There is literally no point in making it illegal. What you can do is making it illegal to do certain things while under the influence of drugs, for example driving a car. And guess what, exactly this happens with alcohol too. But making the drug itself illegal is imo a bad idea.
Because people in power need excuses to hit people they don’t like without having to pay weregild for it. That’s it, that’s the entire purpose of laws. The whole “protecting society” theory is a convenient smokescreen that we’ve all bought into through generations upon generations of Stockholm syndrome and the fact that we all also want to hit people and be justified in doing so from time to time.
So you want to go back to prohibition ? Because alcohol is a drug.

Look, you’d have to be both purposefully oblivious and living under a rock to not have a notion of what drunk people look like and the research done on the health risks of it, and all the addiction and alcoholism… Like, give me a fucking break.
Edit: I’m saying this to say that humans have accepted the risk associates with alcohol (not saying not to regulate it) and it should equally allow the same for drugs. The only difference is that some drugs are plain out less harmful than alcohol.
