  1. @K Ghoul You have a fascination with dangerous men, I see
  2. There are bad people in the world - big surprise. Does that de-legitimize what BLM and Antifa stands for?
  3. You want to distinguish good from bad. God has no distinctions.
  4. Be careful not to equate all forms of transgression with stage red. Tier 1 in general can get very nasty at times.
  5. Firstly, there is not really a market for Datura anyway. Secondly, "krokodil" (desomorphine) isn't technically "worse" than any other opiate. The perception of krokodil being a type of corrosive venom stems from unclean and unprofessional synthesis practices, contamination and impurities, not the active compound itself. It's very easy to synthesize it from codeine at home (using a lot of toxic chemicals), and that's why you see so many side effects related to the drug.
  6. Alcohol is more lethal than cocaine and same as methamphetamine if you measure the active/lethal dose ratio:
  7. The main premise of having a developmental model is that the stages are passed through in a predictable/chronological order. Therefore, you shouldn't be able to skip stages, but regression is another question. It may or may not be possible depending on the model.
  8. You can make this argument for any drug really. People tend to do a lot of the drug once they have it, sure, but what about binge drinking? It's a staple of college culture. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a particular drug that kills you: it's a particular lifestyle. The people you see on the street aren't just doing one drug. They're multi-drug users, desperate, poor, broken, and not least malnourished (big factor in their health), and they will take anything they get their hands on; be it alcohol, heroin, coke, xanax etc.. If you listen to this man's life story (eloquent man), you'll get the point: That is an assumption, but it's also not really relevant. Believe it or not, many people do all kinds of drugs without getting addicted, ending up on the streets and dying before they're 30. Hamilton Morris has probably done more types of drugs than you even know existed, and he is still a highly functional human being: 1:07:00 Interesting talk about amphetamine vs methamphetamine (he has tried both). None of this is true. If you do one shot too much, you can enter a coma, stop breathing, or have a heart attack or seizure. The strongest poisons in the world are also found in fruits. The naturalist argument is not a strong one. Same with any other drug. That is why doctors can prescribe you things like morphine and amphetamine, even though you can overdose on those aswell.
  9. Sure, atleast in some sense, many hippies are also conformist and conventional when it comes to mental structure, despite anti-establishment content. However, there are certainly different degrees of this, and also, young people are more susceptible to it. You should also take into account the SD lens to this matter. Hippies are stage green, and that stage is called the "post-conventional" stage for a reason. You're much more likely to find diversity of behaviour, thought and expression, odd pecularities and idiosyncrasies there compared to a group from a lower stage. Despite there being commonalities within the group, their mental structure is relatively more fluid compared to other groups. Concepts like being a free spirit, freethinker, free love are much more open to interpretation than say the puritanian "fuck the establishment" mentality of punk rock. All in all, structure vs content is an important distinction, but so is content vs content.
  10. You'd be surprised how bad alcohol really is. I'm taking a class in developmental psychology and the professor said that alcohol is by far the worst drug to take when you're pregnant. Quote from Jordan Peterson, who has done research on alcohol: The addiction profile for alcohol is certainly not negligible either (rank 3): https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Drugs-Ranked-by-the-Salerian-Addictive-Potential-Score-A-This-Table-Presents-the-SAP_tbl1_272481174 "Virtually all drugs causing drug addiction increase the dopamine release in the mesolimbic pathway,[83] in addition to their specific effects." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction In that sense, alcohol, heroin and cocaine aren't so different after all.
  11. That looks like a horse took a shit in the road and a car drove over it lol
  12. I hope you will remain that privileged for the rest of your life, because when someone threatens you for your life, you'll be in deep trouble.
  13. What do you mean?
  14. 1:44-2:35 is entirely improvised. It's ridiculous.
