The amount of vegan, organic, health-obsessed, non-GMO twats I know, who happily snort coke or do ecstacy during the weekend is huge.
I can only surmise they’re not true believers, they’re just boring people who think going on about it makes them more interesting than they actually are.
It’s just that out of the various things about Russell Brand, the recreational drug user is going to be one of the lesser reasons why he went into anti-vaxx territory.
Not that he’s a Christian Conservative but he’s adopted a parallel to their ways of regarding medical science, where it’s a lot of sealioning questions, little actual medical journal research, and all the confidence of a SAHM Facebook mom who gets all her information from Facebook.
I don’t think it’s that surprising. Both are often linked to a distrust of the establishment, and the pharmaceutical industry is obviously a part of that. Indeed, the fact the government is on the one hand saying “Cannabis is terrible and will turn you into a total monster” while simultaneously saying “Oxycontin is fine, doctors can prescribe it because capitalism”, is a major problem and undermines the government when it is being run by less terrible people who are trying to do the right thing.
(Note, before anyone thinks I have that mentality: I’m taking a vaccine booster whatever that fuck DeSantis says as soon as I’m eligible, and you should wear a mask if you can without people being violent to you, but government corruption on a minor to medium scale such as the War on Drugs and the Oxycontin bullshit is how we end up with conspiracy theorists who’ll believe the UN wants them to eat bugs, scientists invented global warming as a way to increase government power, and that we never go to the moon.)
I think you’d find higher rates among Christian Conservatives and they’re a pretty anti-drug group.
I never said that’s the only group though.
It is just surprising to me that you would get concerns about injecting yourself with not well tested medicine from that specific group.
I find it entirely unsurprising.

High people not thinking things through?
Hmm, maybe you’re on to something.

Fair trade cocaine and organic crystal meth are a thing.
Religion is their drug, which is way stronger than conventional drugs.
