      And not having meth heads roaming around gacked out of their mind is what’s best for society.

        I’d be willing to bet a substantial amount of money that the vast majority of people who use/abuse stimulant drugs, have adhd and ptsd.

        Providing access to clean amphetamine, would be far kinder than removing all access.

        And creating a society that provided high quality, free at the point of use health care, would be even better. Access to adhd diagnosis and prescription medication would save so many people.

          Mate when you can go out and buy meth as easily as alcohol, we’ll be able to compare what’s worse for society.

          By the numbers alcohol wins because it’s so prevalent, but by damage to a person? Meth and other hard drugs win out.

            I get it, meth scares you and alcohol doesn’t.

            You can buy meth and other drugs easier then alcohol if you’re underage in many places.

            Alcohol does way more damage to society, families and the user themselves.

              …Because alcohol is sold everywhere.

              I’ve got friends who are alcoholics, I had friends who were meth beads they’re either dead or who knows where now. I know which is worse for an individual.

                  Fuck no?

                  Drugs are sold by dealers, and can often go through periods of “drought” where supply isn’t available.

                  Alcohol is sold in shops, events, etc. I could get a drink within minutes at any time of the day. If I want drugs I have to message people and fuck around with hook ups and waiting in dodgy locations.
