There’s such a weird push for drugs in here. This is 3rd time i’ve had to defend my personal stance (idc if you take drugs). They are all incredibly dismissive about personal concerns. I grew up seeing the drugged up tourist down the sideway, to me drugs are that, I don’t want that for me.
To a certain extent, I think I understand. For people who have had only positive experiences with psychedelics, I’m sure it feels like the cheat code to life, and I can see why they’d want to share it. And I think some of them imagine themselves too smart or careful to get addicted, or maybe immune to addiction in the first place (and for a small number, that may even be true).
I’ve lost family to alcoholism and I struggle with binge eating as a coping mechanism, I’m damned wary of anything that could even potentially become a thing that I need to cope. I think some people will never understand that kind of thing until they see it firsthand.
This is manifestly dangerous advice. You can get addicted to anything. Especially if it makes you feel good.
