the plans to make them immediately the most serious schedule shows you just how prejudicial drugs policy has been for decades. that’s been the orthodoxy. because it’s been led by moral panics and not science.
if the drugs get a lesser classification according to, you know, a rational assessment of use and harm, then that’s fine with me.
now let’s talk about why you go to the ends of the earth to defend the consumption of a harmful drug.
‘medicated to the eyeballs’. young people like to have a good time. taking a pill at a nightclub and dancing to good music with your friends isn’t a symptom of a social anxiety disorder, dilbert. you really don’t understand young people doing young people things, do you?
and this is a particularly strange line to go down considering, uh, you know, how casualized alcohol use is in almost all social settings in british and australian life. can't you people socialize or watch the footie without "self-medicating"? drug abuse and self-medication doesn't begin and end with illegal substances, mate. alcohol is candidate numero uno on this front. how many people have a 'stiff drink' in tough times or to 'calm their nerves'? how many works functions or social events are greased up with a few drinks, to ease inhibition and help people gel? "can't you do anything without" ... blah blah blah.
“nerds aren’t self-conscious”. i love just how deluded your self-fancied image is. you really picture yourself as a macho hero type. never mind we have just been subjected to practically 20 years of incredibly self-conscious nerd humour and movies. it’s practically it’s own played-out genre. clearly the collective stereotype of nerds does not match your own promethean hero image. sorry dilbert. you might need to read a few more books before your grand hypotheses start to hold up.
