I feel like if you can describe it as a "just say no campaign" then maybe that's a testament to whether we've tried one of those and whether it works?

Yeah you really know a politician is on coke when they sit in the chamber and stare at the opposition benches like they're the most amazing thing in the world.

Depends on how good you are at simultaneously believing that addiction is both a thing capable of independently destroying you whether you want it to or not while also being a conscious moral failing.

Better that they use a little bit from my taxes than break into my car or house.

Anyone who wouldn't make that trade is dumb as all gently caress.

Some people just absolutely seethe at the possibility that someone might be doing something they don't approve of, or having fun with even a fraction of money they might once have handled.

They would rather just kill all addicts than risk the possibility that they might in some way be unintentionally charitable.

Hence the desire to put them in jail, throw away they key, and also not pay to fund prisons.

The closest thing I can think of are those herb oil extract things you get in the woo shops. Though whether they count as pharmaceutical or not I dunno. Even then it's generally not just a fist of leaves, either pills or liquids, presumably due to easier standardisation of the processed product.

Yeah that's specifically what I was thinking of, I'd probably take the position that selling stuff as raw leaves, unless you need it to be like that, in the case of tobacco, seems less likely than products being marketed as extracts in pill or liquid form, again cos it's probably easier to bottle stuff up or press it into pills at standardized concentrations than it is to do quality control on a bunch of plant matter that you're selling as, like, a drug with dosages and stuff.

It took me a long time to stop conflating the words kratom and krokodil and I was very confused until I did.

I mean I get why, given that clear liquid is all around us whereas suspicious powder is less so, but clear liquid or white powder are basically the two most common chemical compositions in existence.
