Buying Drugs

[sinderella]

The Sin family were having a discussion and my opinion is that if you buy any class a drug then you are complicit in murder and misery
I was disagreed with by most of them
your opinions please

How so?

[nailit]

Drug addiction is no different than weed addiction, sugar addiction, coffee addiction, alcohol addiction, porn addiction, shopping addiction, food addiction, gambling addiction or any other addiction.
Its a behaviour that needs addressing, not demonising by ridiculous posts about being complicit in murder

[jackthehat]

I agree.
The production and supply chains are riddled with misery, threat, fear and serious bodily harm.
The 'dinner-party' tokers consistently fail to associate their 'harmless' habit with the numerous and increasing gang-crime rife in the country.

could be, but nailit has a fair point. Are other addictions somehow untainted? Sugar plantations were one of the great havens of slavery. Sex/porn addiction feeds off human trafficking. Even the harmless pleasure of buying clothes will have some links to the sweatshops of south and east Asia. There's an awful lot of complicity out there.

I agree - passed a drug deal where the fella was trying to barter for drugs....

you're clearly going to the wrong dealer, Sin -
you can get drugs that are ethically and sustainably sourced, suitable for vegans - feel good about your addiction! (allegedly)
