"Star Wars day? How old are you, Joe? Nine? No, Joe, shut the fuck up with this trash. The only Sci-Fi movie is Jodorowsky's Dune. Yes, I know it wasn't filmed and that he's a kike, but I've dropped enough acid to actually see it. Mention DMT and I'll break your jaw, Joe"
@MechaSilvio @matrix >tfw you were the only kid in your class who took DARE seriously and thus never fucked around with opiates

It's really sad how pathetic the response to the drug problem was.
@LouisConde @MechaSilvio @matrix It was retarded and did more harm than good, huur duur let's inform all kids in the country about all the different types of drugs you can use but really shouldn't because they'll turn your brain into scrambled eggs X-D
@LouisConde @MechaSilvio @matrix tbh there's actually nothing wrong with opiates for short term severe pain. I was prescribed vicodin for dealing with kidney stones but was very aware that it was serious fucking shit and not to be overused, like don't take it for your daily sinus headache.

the problem comes when people use them for long term injuries, that's where the addiction is most likely to set in.

but to be fair, I would actually rather live a shorter life with less pain than a longer life with more pain, and that should be an option people can choose for themselves.
@PepeWalnuts @MechaSilvio @matrix The people I were talking about in this situation weren't prescribed opiates. They were stealing them from their parent's medicine cabinet and crushing them up to intentionally get fucked up. I agree they have legitimate use in certain scenarios, but the epidemic wasn't really the result of such cases.
@LouisConde @MechaSilvio @matrix Not defending big pharma/the sacklers, but that part you can't blame them for. I'm thinking more shit like Kurt Angle where he was prescribed them for a broken neck but then just kept getting prescribed massive amounts of them even when it was clear he was overdoing it.

and that's not to say that if a safer drug like marijuana was actually legal it might have been a better alternative
@PepeWalnuts @LouisConde @MechaSilvio @matrix You can really only have opiates for medical use in a white country
@PepeWalnuts @LouisConde @MechaSilvio @matrix Because you need to have doctors willing to cut people off and the system will stand up for them.
