‘Mike’s Candyshop’: Behind the Overdose Death of Colin Kroll

This culture of drugs being cool and acceptable needs to stop. We don't need drug testing. We need education that taking drugs is wrong. The drug taker is as much as a criminal as the drug provider. I work around these tech-bros who talk about equality and solving world problems but then would go and do drugs. I feel it's a bit hypocritical. No?

Taking drugs isn't wrong, any more than drinking coffee or beer is wrong, or going rock-climbing or any other leisure activity. What's wrong is the 'war on drugs' which kills people by forcing drug sales underground, so that people have no idea what they're getting.

We should be allowing our scientific companies to research safer compounds, rather than just moralistically banning the whole area - and condemning people to death, black markets, gangs and cartels.

Not at all. It's very simple.

It's my body, so it's my choice.

Sry what?

You should not even have such a strong opinion on this topic as long as it doesn't affect you.

If I like to drink alcohol without hurting others or smoke weed or do amphetamines, who gives you the right to judge this?
