Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I feel like I could probably use that one reference in every other negative thread about the world these days, great game though!

Lol wut.

I wasn't comparing regular drug use to pirating software, I was comparing the disinformation campaigns that are used to present bare faced lies as facts to make people feel bad about the decisions they make in life to further serve their controlling narratives.

To be more specific when writing that comment I was mainly thinking about the racist, oppressive campaign that has been perpetuated around weed and its use when compared to alcohol. Weed was originally made illegal due to predominantly the United States campaign of hate against people of colour and specifically pushed in an attempt to oppress those communities. These campaigns have been based on disinformation and lies all whilst alcohol has been pushed as a thing you should partake in.

In actuality alcohol is more addictive, harmful to your body and society in general than weed ever has been or ever will be. That isn't to say that weed is entirely harmless, I dont mean to suggest that either but really my comment wasn't meant to begin a debate on the safety or lack of for any specific drugs, more to draw a parallel in terms of how people are lied to and manipulated in the ways that they think to then judge or look down on others because they are so wrapped up in believing the false narratives that are pushed.

Sticking with weed some of the world is now turning it around but yes I am frustrated to still live in a country that puts weed alongside stuff like opiods which are not even comparable in terms of addiction and damage that they do to peoples lives. So maybe you are getting a sense of frustration from that fact but I also couldn't care less if anyone is judging me for doing any kinds of drugs. I have heavily researched any substances I have taken before I've taken it, I have looked into positives and negatives from as many independent sources as I could, tested me shit and everyone should have unbiased information to be able to do the same in their lives and choose what they want to put in their body.

You say bad things like drugs are bad things, I dont believe that so I couldn't possibly agree that by taking drugs anyone is doing a "bad thing". I believe that proper education with actual facts and a solid culture of harm reduction should be in place for people to make educated decisions with what they put in their bodies will always be the best possible route to take rather than prohibition.

The majority of negative experiences, deaths etc stem from people not knowing what they are doing, not knowing proper dosages and from having to buy from a black market where you could in reality be getting any fucking thing rather than what you may want which adds in so many variables and possibilities for it to go wrong. People will always get high and who the fuck is anyone to tell anyone else that they can't, a regulated system where people don't have to put themselves in danger buying from the streets would negate so many of the perceived negatives of drug taking.

I also don't believe at its core piracy is a "bad thing" either so your whole second paragraph is kind of moot to me. Sounds to me you might just be close minded in terms of thinking these things are "bad" so I guess the propaganda has worked on you to a degree also.

Drugs are a great thing coupled with reliable and factual knowledge so judge me all you want for partaking in getting high, having fun and doing what I want in a safe and educated manner :)
