Eh, I’d say that’s still way too dangerous for public consumption.

I read it could have benefits too, but that’s not enough of a reason for full legalization imo. Supervised usage in restricted environments for therapeutic purposes could be possible, but any more than that will make the risks outweigh the benefits by too much.

That’s why the “then” was key.

I’m just talking because there’s probably no realistic way to make it possible at this point, but assuming countries could “buy back” houses from landlords until they have enough for everyone, I wouldn’t mind people having more than one house as long as everyone has at least one.

Shrooms are a valid argument, I’ve seen them categorized as both. I was more talking about stuff that is pretty much universally deemed a “hard drug”, like cocaine, heroin, ecstasy or meth.

My take is everyone should be entitled to one, then do whatever you want with what’s left.

Trump melts down

FINALLY!

on Truth Social

…oh. Guess the celebrations will have to be postponed again.

I get it, probably not as much as you do but I get it. We just have to vote against them and hope for the best.

I think that’s semantics. I don’t think you were born with the sacred texts in your mind, you were just raised in a Jewish family, learned Jewish values and grew up to be one. That’s what I mean when I say you’re not “born” with your religion (not that there’s any issue with that, the issue is in Johnson’s statement).

People on the right see Jewish people as some sort of hidden cabal so obviously if you say you converted yourself they wouldn’t believe you. It’s unfortunate but you just have to deal with the fact those people can’t be reasoned with and ignore their opinions.

“Your race, creed, and sex are what you are, while homosexuality and cross-dressing are things you do”

This is honestly all you need to know. People can pick and choose their sexual preferences, but they’re inherently born with belief in a millennia-old fantasy book.

What would you consider a “hard drug” that isn’t harmful? Isn’t its very definition a way to distinguish them from soft drugs which are less harmful?

They don’t need to stay illegal, I explicitly said they shouldn’t.

But if you’re buying it in Texas you’re likely doing it from a backalley random anonymous guy who takes no accountability and might give you who-knows-what mixed with it. I’d say in those circumstances even selling apples should be illegal.

It’s like comparing prescription Xanax to smuggled benzos from India.

They are harming people by selling hard drugs to them.

If it’s illegal in that country, yes.

It should be legal everywhere, but if you’re selling it where it isn’t you’re still breaking the law. Iirc most countries that have it legal also have a lot of regulations on it so selling it in a random back alley without certification would still be a crime.

If you don’t want to be watched by a creepy uniformed man you can come to the police station and do it in the toilet.

Or just, not do stuff that’s illegal. If people nowadays still do it knowing they risk jail, risking a brief uneasy situation seems way less threatening.

That’s why I think it’s a difficult thing to handle.

My opinion would be something like this (though it’s probably very flawed as I just thought of it on the spot and I’m not extremely knowledgeable on the subject):

Are you positive to a drug test? Are you willing to cooperate on where did you get them?

Yes-Yes: Confiscation and advice to go to a rehab center

Yes-No: Confiscation and advice to go to a rehab center unless it’s a repeat offense, in that case I’d force the rehab center

No-Yes: Just confiscation

No-No: I’m assuming you’re the dealer, jail

I’m not really sold on that. Drug addicts are victims and shouldn’t be penalized but drug dealers definitely deserve jail.

It’s still a drawing, and an unrealistic one at it. You can’t say liking an unrealistic representation of something real equates to being attracted to the real thing, any furry would be considered a zoophile and anyone who likes a zombie character a necrophile.

Not to mention if you go for the specific paraphilia term, that applies to people who like prepubescent children, and I don’t think they’re the same people who would appreciate SrGrafo’s stuff or “14-year old” characters with massive breasts like Yoko Littner.

Even if by hypothesis this was true, why are they hard-campaigning on drag shows and absolutely ignoring pageants? They should definitely go after both if they “cared about the children”.

They’re drawings in a very unrealistic artstyle, the argument that “they look underage” is pointless when under a realistic lens they barely look human.

If you think they’re icky that’s fine, I’ve seen plenty of anime artwork that made me kinda uncomfortable, but equating them to a serious crime like pedophilia is an argument I’ll never get behind.

Yeah yeah, anime watchers are all pedophiles and fps players are all psychopaths, sure.

Jesus Christ this is disgusting. What’s next, livestreams of MAGA rallies in class?
