alt Hacker News>In the US, “unintentional poisoning deaths numbered 75,761 in 2023”
So you agree that hard drugs are poison (or even worse than poison, about 75K vs about 100K deaths / year).
>A single substance vs all drugs including prescription, over the counter, and hard drugs while including suicide etc is hardly the support you think it is.
"but, hey, poison also kills people" is is hardly the counter argument you think it is...
A flawed argument doesn’t mean the position is incorrect, only that the person making the argument failed.

Read my first post. I never said hard drugs were good for you, just that being poison alone does not inherently warrant anything past a warning label. And again that 100k number you want to use isn’t limited to hard drugs.
