On Drug Use

[Cavernio]

"Playing the "Why?" card is dangerous because "Why not?" is a really good answer. People are different. Some people have desires to do drugs; some don't. Some people view their health and sanity as traits they wish to preserve; some don't. Different symbolic constructions of the world lead to different outcomes, I suppose."

Purposefully making yourself unhealthy and insane harms society because you will then stop being a functional part of it, and harming society can be seen as harming others; all this besides the direct harm of violent crime associated with drug trade.
