This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Highly addictive substance that ruins the lives of most users and their families. Could be harmless, yeah....

I mean, it certainly isn't harmless, but I'm generally in support of adults being able to use whatever drug they please. If you sell clean, heroin that's keeping your customers from buying from someone who cuts it with fent or something.

I agree, but I think there needs to be rules around it. Heroin should only be used under medical supervision, and dosage should be controlled to avoid addiction. Likewise for other hard drugs that are highly addictive and carry a high risk of overdose.

If we ban it, people will get it illicitly. If we legalize it, we can ensure it's used as safely as possible.
