It has to start somewhere

It was actually Putin who did it, so he’s stuck.

No. They each have different effects on the brain. Stimulants work on several different mechanisms of action, and how much they affect the various mechanisms varies by drug.

It’s actually “Whiskey in Rye”

The Levee was a bar in a city that went dry. Rye, a city, wasn’t dry.

They don’t have identical effects, otherwise one wouldn’t work better for an individual than others.

Being an amphetamine doesn’t mean a drug is “basically meth”.

Would you say DXM is basically Ketamine because both are dissociative drugs?

I keep putting off buying a bumper sticker that says “The closer you get, the slower I go.”

No, it’s not.

That’s not what’s meant when it’s said that legalization reduces crime. Legalization reduces violent crimes like robbery, theft, and gang violence. It typically has the effect of reducing overall problematic drug use as well. When weed was legalized in Colorado (iirc) opioid abuse dropped.

Plus, if drugs are legalized fewer people die from laced drugs or dirty needles, taxes can be used to fund rehab and education programs, etc.

Prohibition only ever leads to a thriving black market and violent criminal behavior.

That’s one plus of giant breeds. Even if they’re the sweetest, goofiest good boys, an intruder will take one look and nope off.

Not wanting to be responsible for caring for an animal, and not liking said animal are two different things.

I know that’s a thing at the Texas ren fest.

Vapor is the result of a phase change to gas.

And vaping really isn’t inhaling vapor (it’s actually atomization, a bunch of tiny droplets)

Not everyone who does it is doing it to survive. My coworker just does it when he’s bored and his wife and kid are gone.

It’s called body dysmorphic disorder.

I’m fairly certain that Adobe’s genAI offering is trained on licensed works.

He was 15

Also I’m sure candy flavored alcohol is cool too.

I always dramatically roll my eyes at my wife when she apologizes for burping.
