  1. Not to dismiss the physical and mental hazards of substance abuse and addiction, it would seem that drug prohibition and the war on drugs produces vastly more harm than the drugs themselves . I would further argue that the intolerance for for the substance user is a moral hazard of such importance that it’s myriad effects have ushered in an inevitable decline and collapse of America and the rest of the west .

  2.  @Dan_1348  In principle I am a staunch advocate for Freedom and Liberty. Drug prohibition and the war on drugs was a start of a slippery slope towards the eventual suppression of all free expressions of individuality. I could also argue that out of Financial and Logistical necessity Medicine and Medical services must be decentralized. I don’t think it is unreasonable to assert that we have this Covid -19 exactly because the war on drugs just isn’t ‘ inclusive ‘ enough .

  4. The suppression of so called substances of enhancement is Not Western Civilization , it is a signifier that we are dealing with a totally different animal . As Goya had put it : " The sleep of reason brings forth monsters " , and so it has .

  5. Western Governments are completely dependent on the camouflage of the war on drugs to maintain their legitimacy .

  6.  @michelangelope830  Essentially I am a pragmatist concerning Addiction and MAT. Given that “Doing the same thing over and … “, I find your reliance on faith based treatment rather disturbing, besides the fact that historical data would contraindicate your “Wishful Thinking”. On another note: Lying is more characteristic of The Human Condition itself then in addicts in particular. At this moment I just have time to dash off some thoughts at the top of my head. I am looking forward to a more vigorous debate in the future as to argue That Drug prohibition and the war in drugs is the source code for all the ills that affect mankind at the present moment.
