Comment on Im pretty sure Charlie Kirk would have called for your execution
Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world 1 week agoI bet 1/3 of you neighbors have at least one person in their house that is a heavy drug user. Literally tens of millions of hardcore drug addicts , they all can’t be hospitalized there is not enough resources to do so.
Wow where the f do you come from? Must be one hell of a neighborhood. I dont think your comment is true even in the worst ghettos though.
Also there are not “tens of millions of hardcore drug addicts” in the US. Maybe if you count alcohol and weed, but thats not my definition of hardcore.
This guy would have to be counting caffeine intake to get those numbers
Alcohol is objectively worse than a lot of the illegal drugs, you should consider it hardcore.
Youre right actually. And going by that OPs comment might actually be closer to truth, lots of people are alcoholics and with many you cant tell.
Mixing morphine DMT pcp and meth is a little above the average heavy users paygrade no? Unless youre a chemist or literally Terrence McKenna (maybe even then) such a cocktail is p much just russian roulette with extra steps, definitely not an ordinary menu even among users
Not everyone lives in a shithole country
Let’s do some math. Let’s say we have a sample of 100 households. The average occupancy in the US is 2.53 people per household. So 253 total people.
You assume that out of those 253 people 83 of them are heavy drug users?
The statement 1 out of every 3 people are heavy drug users is certainly an interesting take.
It’s wrong, but interesting
They’re saying at least one in 1/3 of households. So it’s closer to 33/253 or at least 13% of the population. That still feels high but it’s not a number I’d call bullshit on it’s face if given by a reputable source
Yep math is not my strong suit. But even still that’s a ridiculous number. If you factor down you ration by 3 then you get 11/84.3 people are heavy drug users.
If you went into a room of 85 random people do you really think 11 of them are deeply addicted to drugs?
In some of the places I’ve lived? Yeah maybe. Across the country, probably not, but I’m not good at telling if strangers are drug users.
You’re weird.

That is a strange fucking bet and one that’s definitely wrong. Let alone that not a single neighbor I’ve ever met does anything like this person if what I read on their profile is even remotely true. Maybe this is true in some places, but you just assuming like that is really weird.
Even if 100% of my neighbors in a mile radius were tweaking on an intravenous four-narcotic soup, that doesn’t change the fact that this person needs inpatient help. I’m not going to link it so we can all treat someone at the lowest point of their life – clearly in desperate need of intervention and harming no one (although I’d be very concerned about driving if they are) – like a sideshow atttaction, but they’re talking about abusing midazolam, alprazolam, MDMA, using seroquel to crash after a meth binge – like I can just keep going. They claim they think they got caught at work and think people know, which would make some sense as a combination of paranoia and people just actually being able to tell.
No neighbor of mine is so high-functioning on all this shit that I couldn’t tell if I saw them.
