  How have drugs become so normalised and downplayed that people “just do” them and have anecdotes to share about them

  And that on lemmy

    Belive it or not, alchool is even more normalised (which is arguably worse than many drugs)

      I remember an episode aired in Denmark many years ago having a health expert in a news studio talking about drugs and alcohol and ranked them on two parameters, how harmful they were on a personal level and on society level, and alcohol was ranked as the worst of these.

      I think it was based on this study from UK.

        Huh, that’s a curious stat - low harm to others for meth

        Cannabis being “more dangerous” for both users and others above ketamine makes me question their reasoning..

        I struggle to take seriously any chart which uses “crack cocaine” unironically

        Wait what, people use butane as a drug?

    I dunno, but most things are safer than alcohol.

    It’s not being normalized, it’s being destigmatized, because it was already exceedingly normal. And it’s obviously not being downplayed, otherwise you wouldn’t have the opportunity to complain about people talking about it so openly.

    They always were this normalized in countercultural space. Like I won’t share acid stories at work, or in front of a cop, but around anyone cool or when my face isn’t associated, IDGAF

    Always has been.

    Ehh, this feels like some kinda survivorship bias / frequency fallacy. I’d argue the people that post and leave comments on social media are already way outside of the norm. It is a power law distribution when it comes to social media participation. Your outliers in this case are very likely outliers in other ways such as in opinions/thinking, risk taking, etc. Drugs really aren’t all that normalized. Sure all my friend circle is full of degenerates, but I am still going to be guarded about my “hobbies” when meeting new people.

  if you dose acid and aren’t sure its enough, add more acid. there’s not a lethal dose.

      It comes back. Mostly.

  Also if the acid hasn’t kicked in, just like, check. Same goes for edibles too tbh. I’ll just be sitting there not noticing I’m high until I start thinking much for acid or get up for pot.

  In my day, I would wear a watch that had a stopwatch function, so I was able to start the stopwatch when I dosed so I could always just take a quick glance at my wrist to see how far along I was
