I'd also like to write an extensive bit about how it might have societal implications that some people might change their preferred substance from drinking solvents to shut down their emotions 'till their brain shuts down to taking a pill, dancing all night while feeling unity and emotional honesty.
Again, generalising heavily, but MDMA and other serotonergic substances like psilocybin and LSD have shown to have remarkable promise for psychiatry. Amazing results.
But I'm too lazy to write it.
Reforming drug laws would help in a ton of ways.
Maybe not get rid of cartels, but they're businesses, so if they're allowed a legal framework to operate in, it might be possible to downgrade them to the levels of evil normal corporations operate at.
There's hundreds of billions in the drug trade. Why is it all being untaxed and left to violent criminal organisations, when prohibition doesn't prevent trade or use and only makes it unsafe for everyone?
This will be a lot of generalising, bear with me.
"Fixing" the world really is quite simple. Maybe not easy, but simple. Reform druglaws, get rid of most crime, literally, as most crime is drug-adjacent. This should allow for less corruption, which should strengthen actual democracy, so we could push through actual change to tax the rich, so we can feed and house everyone and actually utilise humanity as a whole.
Dk if anyone will see this but I can elaborate on everything if needed. #politics
