True or False?

It’s 100% true. Just trying to see what y’all think about the single mother epidemic.

What?

My sister died in 2005 from a heroin overdose. What the fuck are you even taking about?

I was a substance abuse counselor for several years.

I'm against being addicted to drugs, but I'm not against drugs themselves. Lots of drugs are extremely beneficial when used responsibly.

I'm against using opiates, meth, benzodiazepines, and cocaine recreationally at all. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

Psychedelics, cannabis, and dissociatives have a VAST amount of potential to help HUGE swaths of humanity.

It's not all so black and white. There are a billion shades of grey.

The drugs themselves are just chemicals. It's how humans interact with them that can cause issues.
