alt Hacker NewsSo am I, of both "hard" and "soft" drugs. I'm just pointing out the ridiculous approach some people choose to take rather than arguing from principled grounds. It's also a dangerous one: "we shouldn't use state violence against people who use X" is a moral position. "I'm going to spread lies that may lead more people to use dangerous substance X because I want to get high" is a very immoral one.
I think I agree. But I come at it from a different angle. I only care if proposed therapies actually work, when people claim they do. I think the state has a horrendous track record of deciding what people are allowed to do with their own life. And I think drug enforcements are a waste of resources. I think almost all drugs are terrible and should never be taken. To me, all of these are simultaneously true.
