  • No, it was a side argument regarding mental health. Fixing mental health is an everybody issue, especially when people are products of their environment. Having a healthy sex life is part and parcel of improving mental health, on top of exercise, a good diet and actually handling or leaving toxic environments.

    You’re not able to see my main point because you want people to suffer, because you think they deserve to suffer, because you want to feel superior and calling me an asshole indirectly at the same time because you’re too much of a pussy to tell me directly.

    So the only asshole I see here is you.



  • Sex work should be subject to protections under the law, including the law, the courts and the healthcare system - rather than subject to persecution, ostracization and having to fend for themselves outside of the law. They’d rather want sex motels decked with panic buttons and security on guard.

    Think before you assume you’re actually concerned for someone’s well being, and if you think continued illegality will somehow eradicate sex work - let me remind you that it hasn’t worked thus far. Please reconsider your stance.











  • Why are you people so bad at reading, or are you just trying to misdirect?

    You either missed the point entirely - or you’re trying to ignore it. But that’s why we use simple language and conveyance to dismiss such tomfoolery.

    Pure ethanol… right? Pure ethanol is illegal to sell as a beverage. With me so far? But ethanol… is the effective ingredient in alcohol. Understood? Good.

    You keeping a bottle and drinking it… is not the same as distributing it as a beverage in say a store, a bar, your grandma’s house, etc… Yes? We can’t make it illegal for you - that’s you in your private home - to destroy your body by drinking it yourself. Agreed?

    But… if you then… go give that bottle to someone without informing them “hey bro, this is pure ethanol - this shit’ll burn your cornia”, and by neglecting to do so, they go blind when drinking it? That’s what we call wilful negligence - in legal speak.

    If you do that, then you deserve time in prison for wilful negligence and causing bodily harm to someone. Right?

    Or… are you some sort of psychopath? Or perhaps a libertarian? I’m a socialist libertarian, so let me know if you need to learn something about why law is still important and why causing harm to others - be it intentional or not - should be illegal. Here’s a hint: we still need licenses for running major industrial machinery for a reason.





  • It’s really bad if the wrong person gets a hold of it too. Suddenly latent psychosis gets triggered - which could have been healed by itself over the years, but instead destroys a life that then will become a burden to their family and the welfare system. It’s also what could lead us right back to criminalization.

    Most of the irresponsible stoners in this thread don’t get that, because that care only about themselves, but as a civilized society we can’t just let that stuff run rampant.
