So one group can claim superiority over another.

I mean, on what sales volume did cannabis reap 2x liquor's tax revenue? It wasn't 2x as much cannabis was it, because they're taxed at different rates and I highly doubt cannabis outsold liquor. If liquor outsold cannabis 2:1 and made just half the tax revenue, wouldn't that suggest that pot users are paying too much? Particularly if alcohol is correlated with greater health and social impacts. I'm sure the figures already exist I just don't know where to look.

What's the ratio between the amount of cannabis and liquor sold?

Not so fun facts:

The US Forest Service is part of the Department of Agriculture

WA Department of Natural Resources gets most of its funding from forestry and geoduck harvesting

Oh who am I kidding. They don’t give a rats ass what their own team does. It’s just a tool to slander their opponents.

The fact that some people can’t/shouldn’t drive is a good reason to invest more in public transit.

Looking good 👍

> Mushrooms aren’t a crutch. That’s just the thing. A trip isn’t gonna cure your ailments. It’s going to make you think differently for a bit, but when it wears off you’re back at square one. No one needs to do mushrooms to “survive.” You’re out here romanticizing powerful drugs.

Crutches don’t cure ailments either. Crutches help people function when they can’t stand or walk on their own. If they put their crutches down, they’re back to not being able to walk. No one needs crutches to survive. No one needs to be a dick on the internet either. You’re out here minimizing the usefulness of tools that help some people function.

Being physically unable to function and being mentally hung up on something that’s completely demoralizing aren’t very different. Some people go to church for that sense of hope. Some people feel like religion is gross and manipulative. Some people do yoga or play music or any number of things. Some people go to therapy and take powerful medications. Some peopl appreciate a substance that allows them to see and think differently because it helps make further growth possible. Some people don’t limit themselves to a simplistic view of the world.

Some people who don’t understand the power of psychedelics or the mind, who aren’t curious about either of them and who don’t think a psychological condition can prevent a person from overcoming trauma like to think there’s no way anyone could benefit from them, but those people are in fact wrong.

Edit: added something

So everyone is like your old roommate, whose abuse of illegal substances and pattern of self-harm is a lesson of what not to do and very much what supervised therapeutic treatment is intended to treat?

Do you expect someone with a broken body to not use a crutch? Are they supposed to suffer the indignity of dragging themselves around by their two or three good limbs just so you can feel better? It seems like your version of reality is wholly detached from the experience of others.

Fun fact: managing pain, trauma and disability is an important part of healing and survival.

You might consider consulting r/LegalAdvice although their responses will be similar to the ones here, with an added “get a lawyer.”

It’s entirely possible to feel bad for someone and still recognize their low value. Hell, I feel bad for whatsherface’s blind husband.
