[note: downvote this post if you disagree with this being an unpopular opinion and vice versa if you upvote, you are saying it is a popular one] Every time somebody posts a negative comment about drug use on lemmy, they immediately get downvoted, and a lot of (mostly crackpot) arguments are offered why drugs are actually fantastic, and only corrupt or suppressive governments prohibit it. Medical arguments are swiped aside, and anecdotal “evidence” is provided to point out why drugs are great. The reality is: no recreational drug (alcohol, cannabis, design drugs, mushrooms,…) exists, that is safe for everyone, or that has no detrimental side effects. In addition, people that refrain completely from taking ANY drug usually lead healthier, more balanced and happier lives.
The ancient wisdom on this topic is, “Dose is the difference between poison and the cure”.
For a fun thought experiment, try to think of something that will not kill you under any circumstances regardless of the quantity or quality of it that you are exposed to.
So far I have come up with “shade”.
