Because you can get breast implants before basic dental care like "root canals on back teeth, cosmetic tooth restoration or replacement, or treatment of oral ulcers"

I'm not saying I agree with the current state of the drug war, I just think the state should have the power to snatch you up and put you in treatment if you're clearly addicted and constantly using hard drugs like heroin, meth, crack. I spent half my life in NJ and the other half in Iowa so I've seen how hard drugs like meth & crack could completely destroy people from varying ethnicities & socioeconomic backgrounds.

And Seattle did decriminalize drugs only to go back to making it illegal, because their streets started filling up with junkies and ruining their city. Some drugs deserve to be illegal to be served to humans because of how it completely destroys them, it's just much better for society to lock people up and force them to be sober then for a state to willingly serve poison to its citizens. And if you think alcohol is addictive as meth or crack then you're the one who's utterly naive.

You're thinking of older generations that weren't properly educated on the harms of alcohol use and didn't have safer alternatives like cannabis. Gen Z or zoomers actually drink less. And alcohol has never crippled society or been detrimental to a large groups of people in society. but opiates and meth have both had significant and detrimental impacts on various societies throughout history. Here are some examples of how these substances have harmed societies:

1. The Opioid Epidemic in the United States: This crisis has strained healthcare systems, law enforcement, and social services. The economic burden associated with opioid addiction and its consequences is substantial.

2. The Opium Wars in China: In the 19th century, China was ravaged by the Opium Wars, during which the British Empire and other European powers forced China to open its markets to opium trade. The opium trade led to widespread addiction and social problems in Chinese society. The opium wars and the subsequent opium addiction crisis had far-reaching social and economic consequences, leading to the degradation of Chinese society and the weakening of the Qing Dynasty.

3. Methamphetamine in Japan during World War II: During World War II, the Japanese government distributed methamphetamine pills (known as "Philopon" in Japan) to soldiers and civilians. This widespread methamphetamine use had disastrous effects on Japanese society. It led to addiction, health issues, and a breakdown of social and familial structures. The consequences of this drug use persisted long after the war.

4. Methamphetamine in the United States: Methamphetamine, commonly known as "meth," has had a significant negative impact on American society. The production and use of methamphetamine have led to public health problems, crime, and environmental damage. Meth addiction has torn families apart, and the associated crimes and social problems have placed a heavy burden on law enforcement and the healthcare system.

5. Afghanistan's Opium Production: Afghanistan has been a major global producer of opium for many years. The opium trade has funded insurgency, corruption, and violence in the country. The availability of cheap opiates has also contributed to addiction problems both in Afghanistan and among international drug users.

The consequences include addiction, health problems, family disruption, crime, and economic burdens. Efforts to address these issues often involve a combination of public health initiatives, law enforcement measures, and harm reduction strategies to mitigate the negative impact of these substances on society.

Yeah you could, but me, my family, or friends can't and I much prefer society being that way. And I'm talking about hard drugs, I could literally get weed or psychedelics anytime and in a lot of cities. I just wouldn't want my little nieces and nephews getting hooked on meth or heroine from a store and having a new industry that could legally abuse peoples addictive tendencies.

I take acid for a week straight during my birthday week and by the third or fourth day I'm not really experiencing much. Any psychedelic you take will have a very minuscule effect after a 3 day bender because your serotonin levels are very depleted. Personally I find shrooms just make me too emotional and I find the trips to be a little short so I much more prefer acid over any drug.

Very interesting, do you see yourself just leaving because of climate risks or high insurance rates?

Home insurance, same thing's happening in Louisiana and California
