    society itself is the victim

    So victimless. That’s the definition.

    and defending them is a result of one’s lack of self-discipline and lazyness.

    Is it? It is it just reasonable to realize that millions of years of mamillian evolution have led to leisure as normal a part of the species.

    no benefits,

    Uppers increase brain activity.

    What?

      So victimless. That’s the definition.

      Only to a selfish individualist who puts his one gain before the good of everyone else.

      Is it? It is it just reasonable to realize that millions of years of mamillian evolution have led to leisure as normal a part of the species.

      Literally only in the opulent West and in the last few decades is it considered normal for one to slack off doing absolutely nothing usefull for the better part of the day.

      Increased brain activity in itself isn’t a benefit, not to mention relying on drugs to keep yourself going is the opposite of healthy. There are perfectly healthy ways to keep one’s brain activity up, exercise, healthy diet, enough sleep and so on.

        Nah fr. At my old university the school found out alot of students who quit marijuana had their grades improve, not because weed =bad, but rather that removing the CBD allowed them to increase their ambition.

          And why should i care what American lawyers think? Like i said, it’s a victimless crime if one is a selfish individualist liberal who cares only for themselves, and not society as a whole, so Americans and American lawyers especially.

          What? I said selfish individualists, and that is what they are, people that put their own benefit and enjoyment before the good of their society, otherwise they wouldn’t be arguing for recreational drugs, as there is no collectivist argument for them, only individualist ones.

          Literally look anywhere outside of the West, you wont see many people taking Western style slacking off as a granted.
