I'm appalled by your hyphen usage

Psychedelics aren't addictive- hyphens are.

Especially the joined hyphens, they represent marriage. And as in bash, means the end of options, and the beginning of arguments.

"em-dash" is the word you're looking for. I like it, it's like Céline or Bukowski were forum commenters.

To be fair, while they are definitely not physiologically addictive, they can be psychologically or emotionally addictive.

(I agree with you, but I think all too often people talk about addiction as if it is solely physical; emotional dependence is a real thing too)

thats why people never get addicted, oh wait people abuse them habitually all the time.

drugs of any kind are addictive, infact even mere behaviors are addictive let alone drugs.

Its truly a mark of an individual in denial when they claim their favorite drugs aren't bad for them.

yes drugs are bad for you.

yes even weed is bad for you and is very addictive.

And people always bring up the medical use, but we all know what its going to be primarily used for.

We need to treat these drugs like we do other medicine, criminalize it if its not a prescribed one unless its very weak.

Its a huge problem if we let people ruin themselves with this garbage under the guise of decriminalizing for medicine, when we already are able to just prescribe them as medicine usually.

-- a long conversation - anything in excess seems unhealthy(bad) for humans - be it - gossip - caffeine - cannabis - religion - all abused habitually - since as long as we've documented - excess has ruined civilizations - true -- on one side - dictatorship - the other - chaos - humans are strange emotional - primal creatures - frameworks for education would be ideal - societal resource is low - so time ticks on - we try our best - learn from the past - iterate into the future - hope for the best --
