it feels so weird once you start looking at alcohol just as another drug, how many people have it as their drug of choice and that it is so normalized while most other drugs would be a taboo in most societies

And most other drugs aren’t nearly as destructive for you as alcohol.

The only difference is the profit it brings to the corporations. Same with nicotine/tobacco
thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
the only reason alcohol isn’t banned is because it is trivial to make
nutrients humans need + certain life forms that rot things
not able to be restricted
if banned, people would make their own crappy alcohol which would likely be more harmful
(I don’t support drug bans, war on drugs did not work, the government should just make getting rid of addiction easy by providing proper healthcare (Portugal does this I’ve heard))

i mean meth is pretty trivial to make, dmt is trivial to make, not to speak about mushrooms, weed
tomi000@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Many naturally occurring drugs are as easy or easier to make, weed (dry + burn), coca (literally just chew the leaves), shrooms (grow + dry). But the argument holds for those as well. People literally produce their own (or buy from someone else who produced it illegally) stuff which might be contaminated, just because the government wont make it legally available.

The 90s version was “I’m straightedge except for weed and shrooms. Those are natural.”
^Don’t come at me, I know alcohol and tobacco and cocaine are naturally occurring also.^

Here in Colorado we call that “Cali Sober”
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Tbh, cocaine has to be heavily processed from coca leaves for it to do what it does (you can have a coca leave tea and get an energy boost at most, lol, but it’s nice!). Shrooms and weed just need to be dried. 🤷
NotANumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I would love one day to try coca leaves and coca tea. Sounds much healthier than processed cocaine.
icanbrewmushrooms@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Shroom’s don’t even need to be dried. In fact, fresh shrooms are more potent - they just don’t store very well and are less pleasant to chew.

And asbestos, don’t forget asbestos.
HurricaneLiz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
In 1999 at a school I went to I saw a kid snort asbestos from a wall. Hope his lungs held out over the years.

The best thing I ever did was quit drinking.
The drugs work so much better!

Drugs are healthier than alcohol change my mind, actually don’t some drugs are fucked up an some drugs are healthier than alcohol just doesn’t hit as hard.

Completely depends on which drug and the quantity it’s taken in.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Also the personality and self-control of the person taking it. Like are they the type to say, “no thanks, I only do coke on special occasions” or the type to say “wow, that line felt amazing, I’d like to feel that way all the time!” Because that can throw out all former plans regarding quantity.

The older I get the fewer drugs I enjoy. Alcohol used to be my last choice, now it’s my default.

This is kinda unironically me. I do occasionally drink, but the drawbacks of drinking are far worse than the drawbacks of weed, so I prefer weed!
SlacksMcTavish@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
You are very correct
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Gawd I love drinking but I can’t do it anymore cuz very specific things (used to drink 10+ drinks every night for almost half a decade and tbh it was the best thing ever aside from the weight gain and the fact that if I kept going it would kill me) so now I’m just into some drugs I like.
It’s been ages since my last drink and I’m VERY lucky, I went from years of ultra heavy drinking to nothing cold turkey (in a controlled setting, no anti-seizure meds or benzos either) and no seizures, no withdrawals, no DTs. Just crazy bad sleep for a few weeks and then 6-8+ hours a night every night after about a month.
I wish I liked THC more, but it depends on the day. Sometimes it’s nice! It’s just about time for my tri-annual heroic dose of X, though. It’s been more than a year and that’s unacceptable.

Weed is great. Psychadelics are great. Cocaine makes you an asshole. Opium derived stuff makes you boring. Meth makes you annoying. Alcohol gives you a kinda okay buzz while physically and intellectually incapacitating you and ruining tomorrow.
